Jonny takes up armband for Zebre tester

-

Jonny Gray will captain Glasgow Warriors against Zebre at Scotstoun tonight.

The 24-year-old, pictured, is joined in the second-row by Andrew Davidson, who made his debut off the bench against Dragons last weekend.

Adam Nicol starts a Warriors game for the first time and is joined in the frontrow by George Turner and Oli Kebble.

Adam Ashe starts on the blindside flank as Matt Fagerson retains his spot at the back of the scrum. Chris Fusaro completes the back-row.

Rory Hughes plays his first game of the season, joining Lee Jones, who scored a brace of tries against the Dragons on the wing. Ruaridh Jackson keeps his place at full-back.

Alex Dunbar and Huw Jones continue their partnershi­p in midfield, both crossing the whitewash last weekend.

Inside them, Adam Hastings once again starts at 10 and is joined at halfback by George Horne.

Warriors head coach Dave Rennie said: “Zebre are a really dangerous side. They are one of the leading teams in the comp in terms of offloads and line-breaks, so defensivel­y we’ll have to be at our best.

“We’re looking forward to seeing Tevita (Tameilau) come off the bench. He arrived late but has worked hard and hopefully supporters will get a chance to see his physicalit­y and athleticis­m when he comes on.”
