Cancelliere among five Glasgow departures
Glasgow Warriors have confirmed a further five summer departures as they prepare for the URC quarter-final at home to Stormers on Friday night.
Sebastian Cancelliere, JP du Preez, Sean Kennedy, Facundo Cordero and Logan Trotter will leave at the end of the season along with Henco Venter, Tom Jordan and Jack Mann, whose impending moves to Brive, Bristol and Gloucester respectively had already been confirmed.
Meanwhile, Warriors scrum-half George Horne has urged his side to tap into last season's title success as they look to progress in the play-offs.
"We'd done a lot of losing big games in the past and that kind of probably gave us the experience to work out what was needed to be done to win it last year," said Horne.
"But you can't just expect that to happen again, we've got to make it happen. We've got a good, experienced team now. We've been there and done it, but it's going to have to be done again if we want to keep going further in this competition."
Glasgow won 27-10 at home to Stormers at the same stage last year before securing memorable away victories over Munster and Bulls to claim the silverware.
"We can learn from it, obviously playing the same opposition, but it means nothing in terms of going into this year," Horne said of the upcoming visit from the South Africans. "We've still got to put out a performance this weekend.
"We can't just rest on the laurels of what we did last year. We'll use the experience of winning those tight games, but we know we've got to turn up on Friday if we're going to do it again."
