Boss out to repeat try-scoring exploits in landmark clash

Isaac Boss is set to make history at Scotstoun Stadium this evening, when he will become the first player to make 100 appearances for two Irish provinces in Leinster’s opening Guinness Pro12 encounter against Glasgow Warriors (kick-off 5.15pm).

The experienced scrum-half lined out for Ulster a total of 108 times, and has been an integral part of the Blues’ squad since his arrival in 2010. His Leinster debut in September of that year also came against Glasgow, and he will be hoping for a repeat of his try-scoring exploits from that night when the defending champions take on Gregor Townsend’s outfit.

Firhill was the venue for his competitive bow four years ago, but despite the reservations some have about the Scotstoun playing surface, Boss feels now is a perfect time for this tricky away assignment.
