Warriors boss Lineen primed for battle

SEAN LINEEN expects a headache long before the crowd raise their voices at tonight’s Magners League game at Thomond Park (KO: 7pm).

The Glasgow Warriors coach and ex Scottish international is doing his best to prepare the players for a brand new Munster experience, but he admits the prospect of beating the Heineken Cup champions will be difficult in front of a boisterous crowd of 23,000 anxious to celebrate the opening of the revamped stadium.

It could be made even tougher because the experienced Dan Parks has been ruled out with an injury sustained in the 34-20 victory over Llanelli. Colin Gregor replaces Parks and the one other change sees Andrew Henderson replace Graeme Morrison in the centre.
