British and Irish Lions

Scott Barrow returns to the Warriors line-up at centre in place of Andrew Henderson, who has injured his left elbow.

Warriors gave Saracens a major scare in the European Challenge Cup last weekend.

And the Scots believe they are a stronger side than their current ninth place in the Magners League suggests, and are determined to prove it at Hughenden.

With Warriors the only pro team to benefit from Scottish Rugby Union direct funding next season, the pressure is on the Glasgow side to ratchet up their level of performance and improve results.

Lineen said: "We've got a point to prove this week and we want to continue the form from our game against Saracens, particularly from the second half last Sunday.

"We haven't beaten Leinster in a while and both teams are now fully focused on the Magners League.

"We've got five games left of our season and a lot to prove. We're hoping for a good crowd as it'll be a great night for fast running rugby."

Other than Barrow coming in for Henderson, Glasgow are unchanged from the side who lost 23-19 to Saracens.

The Waratahs upset the odds by beating Super Rugby leaders the Brumbies 28-22, but the game came at a huge cost to Qantas Wallabies coach Robbie Deans.

Lions skipper Sam Warburton says the lessons he and his Welsh colleagues learnt in Australia last summer will stand them in good stead for their return visit with Britain and Ireland's elite next month.

Tom Youngs has enjoyed a remarkable rise to the top of the British & Irish game but he won't be resting on his laurels ahead of his first Lions adventure.
