Jones returns as Glasgow bid to 'hit our straps when it counts'
Huw Jones returns to the Glasgow Warriors side to face Benetton in the URC on Saturday having been sidelined since the Six Nations with an ankle injury.
Jones joins fellow Lions squad member Scott Cummings in the starting line-up, the latter shifting from his usual position in the second row to blindside flanker.
Sione Tuipulotu is not yet fit to return from the pectoral injury that has kept him out since January but is in contention to face Leinster in the final round of the regular URC season next weekend.
Murphy Walker could make his first Warriors appearance in a year from the bench.
Glasgow have already secured a home quarter-final in the play-offs but aim to finish second, which they currently occupy, which would also bring a home semi-final should they make the last four.
Warriors are just a point clear of Bulls, with the South African side having a more favourable looking run-in with home matches against Cardiff and Dragons.
"If I look across the number of caps that we have in the team at the moment, we're not inexperienced," head coach Franco Smith told BBC Scotland.
"Nothing is new to the boys. It's now about gelling us together and make sure that we hit our straps when it counts most.
"So our focus is absolutely on how we are going to go about our business and we've managed to stay in the second place for 16 rounds. It would be fantastic to finish the season there. That is obviously our objective but that is not the primary plan for this week.
"We play Benetton, we will play Leinster and we will play whoever in the quarters and whatever happens after that."
Glasgow: Jamie Bhatti, Johnny Matthews, Fin Richardson, Max Williamson, Alex Samuel, Scott Cummings, Rory Darge, Sione Vailanu; George Horne, Tom Jordan, Kyle Steyn (c), Stafford McDowall, Huw Jones, Jamie Dobie, Ollie Smith
Replacements: Gregor Hiddleston, Nathan McBeth, Murphy Walker, JP du Preez, Euan Ferrie; Ben Afshar, Adam Hastings, Kyle Rowe

Leinster 37-19 Glasgow: Three things we learned
Scots downed in Dublin… again For a Scottish rugby player, heading for Dublin must be about as much fun as heading to the dentist – you know there's going to be pain. No Scottish side has ever won at the Aviva Stadium and Irish rugby's haunted house spooked Glasgow into playing well below their capabilities. Advertisement Leinster were very good. There was a lot of pre-match chat about them being off the boil, but the sight of Scottish opposition on home soil was the perfect tonic. It followed a similar pattern to many Irish v Scottish match-ups in recent times, and the hex the Irish have over their Celtic cousins shows little sign of being broken any time soon. Warriors can be proud of title defence Despite the disappointing finale, Glasgow can be proud of the defence they put up of their URC title in what has been a very testing season. The injury list has been savage. Sione Tuipulotu, Huw Jones, Zander Fagerson, Scott Cummings and Jack Dempsey have all missed big chunks of the season. They're not the only ones. Advertisement It's been a struggle and Warriors have had to dig far down into their reserves to find players to step into the breach. The fact they made it to the last four, and dispatched a good Stormers side so impressively in the quarter-finals, is an achievement in itself. Franco Smith – will he stay or will he go? Franco Smith looked emotionally drained when he spoke to BBC Scotland in the bowels of the Aviva Stadium after Saturday's defeat. Long seasons away from your family, living every moment of highs and lows of a team you have invested so much into emotionally, will do that to you. The South African was in no mood to offer any guarantees he will still be at Scotstoun next season. Advertisement Smith is clearly unhappy at the direction of travel under performance director David Nucifora with regards to player recruitment, and you wonder if the head coach perhaps feels he has done all he can at Glasgow Warriors.

Uncapped Aungier replaces Bealham in Ireland squad
Uncapped Connacht prop Jack Aungier has been called into the Ireland squad as a replacement for British and Irish Lions-bound Finlay Bealham. Dublin-born Aungier, 26, was part of the Emerging Ireland tour to South Africa last year and trained with the senior squad during the 2025 Six Nations. Advertisement His Connacht team-mate Bealham was called up to Andy Farrell's Lions squad after Scotland's Zander Ferguson was ruled out with a calf injury. Tight-head Aungier - who becomes the 12th uncapped player in Paul O'Connell's squad came through the Leinster academy before joining Connacht in 2020. He has made 88 appearances for the western province. Ireland face Georgia and Portugal in two Tests on 5 and 12 July.

Smith the guiding light for ex-England rugby coach Lancaster
Stuart Lancaster says he sees former All Blacks coach Wayne Smith's journey back to the top as his inspiration (Sylvain THOMAS) Wayne Smith's rebuilding of his reputation as a coach has served as an example to former England head coach Stuart Lancaster, he told the Sunday Times. Lancaster bounced back once with Leinster when he was cast aside by England after their disastrous first round exit at the 2015 Rugby World Cup they hosted. Advertisement Now the 55-year-old Englishman must do it all over again, this time with Ireland's weakest province Connacht, after being dismissed by Top 14 side Racing 92 earlier this season. Smith's path to coaching redemption after being fired as All Blacks coach in 2001 came via English Premiership side Northampton Saints. It ended with him becoming a two-time World Cup winner (2011/15) as assistant coach of the All Blacks to first Graham Henry and then Steve Hansen -- a knighthood followed to boot. "He's won the World Cup but he wasn't the head coach," said Lancaster of Smith. "He's respected as a coach who's made a difference to people. Advertisement "That means more to me than anything. Making sure you're there to enjoy your time with your mates, and that your family enjoy it. "Everyone's part of the journey." Lancaster, who guided Leinster to four European Cup finals with the highlight winning the 2018 edition, said he has to pinch himself at times to grasp what he has made of his career. "I was asked this question: if you look back to when you were a teacher, would you take where you're at?" he said. "If you said to me when I was a teacher at 28 years old that I would end up coaching England, coaching in France, coaching in Ireland, winning the European Cup, beating the All Blacks? I'd pull your hand off." Advertisement - 'Top of Everest' - At the same time, though, he feels he still has to accomplish more if he is to retire a contented man. "But if you said to me right now, am I satisfied and ready to finish?" he said. "No, I'm not. "I'm still seeking the real true fulfilment. A New Zealand psychologist, Dave Hadfield, said if you were to retire now, would your soul be at rest? I went, no, I don't think it is. "Until that happens, I'll keep on going. My wife (Nina) says to me, 'When the hell is that going to be?'" To that he replied dryly "when Connacht win the European (Champions) Cup)" which given he has signed a two year contract is asking something as they finished 13th in the URC Championship this term. Advertisement Lancaster says things did not work out at Racing because of a combination of things, although he believes he was moving things in the right direction. "I was promised to be in control of the rugby programme but that never really happened," he said. "The lack of patience: it takes more than 16 months to turn around an organisation and to have it pulled away from you when, yeah, it's not going great but it's going in the right direction. "You look at Manchester United. Once you're in that downward slide of poor recruitment, poor coaching, poor culture, poor identity, there's no magic wand you can wave in a club environment." Advertisement Lancaster may have been let go by Racing 92 but he remained very much in demand. Wales and Australia were linked with him, but after seemingly been in pole position for the Wallabies post he lost out to Les Kiss. Lancaster said he was mindful of there being a life outside rugby. "What I don't want to do is keep trying to get to the very top of Everest all the time and then get to 70 years old and realise 'Jesus Christ, I've just missed life'. "That balancing in life, it's been on my mind." pi/lp
