Warriors team news

The 33-year-old came off the bench in last week's win at home to Leinster and will replace Lee Jones on the left wing.

Peter Murchie continues at full-back and Tommy Seymour occupies the right wing berth.

Mark Bennett and Alex Dunbar continue at centre, Peter Horne starts at fly-half and Henry Pyrgos is once again named at scrum-half.

In the pack, Alex Allan has been given the nod at loose-head for the second consecutive game, with Pat MacArthur replacing Fraser Brown at hooker and Rossouw de Klerk coming in for Euan Murray at tight-head to complete the front-row.

Tim Swinson replaces Leone Nakarawa in the second-row and he'll partner Jonny Gray in the engine room.

It's the same back-row which started last week, with Rob Harley, Chris Fusaro and captain Josh Strauss all selected.

After missing last week's game through injury, Duncan Weir and DTH van der Merwe have been named among the replacements.

Glasgow Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend said: "Cardiff had a good away win last week against Zebre and will be looking to build on that this Sunday.

"We're expecting a tough challenge at the BT Sport Arms Park.

"Our players showed great character and effort to dig out a victory against the defending champions last week and we'll be looking for a similar spirit away from home this weekend.

"Our performance in the final quarter has given us plenty to work on this week at training and an extra 24 hours recovery has really helped our preparations."
