Huw Jones to miss out again as Warriors face Leinster in URC semi-finals
Glasgow centre Huw Jones will again miss out as Warriors travel to Dublin to face Leinster in the BKT United Rugby Championship semi-finals. Jones has been missing for several weeks with an Achilles problem and has failed to make the 23-man squad for the Aviva Stadium encounter despite some optimism over his fitness from Scotstoun earlier in the week. Forwards Matt Fagerson, Jack Dempsey and Zander Fagerson all miss out again as expected but were progressing well in their recoveries earlier in the week. Head coach Franco Smith has made just two personnel changes following the 36-18 triumph over Stormers last weekend, which took the defending champions into the final four of the competition. Former Scotland Under-20 international Fin Richardson comes into the starting line-up at tighthead prop as Murphy Walker drops out of the 23. Adam Hastings is recalled at fly-half to spark a reshuffle in the back division. Tom Jordan moves to inside centre, where he will partner Sione Tuipulotu. Stafford McDowall drops to the bench. Warriors are making their third trip to Dublin inside two months and will need to make further improvement. Glasgow were thrashed 52-0 by Leinster in April in the Champions Cup and lost 13-5 in the Irish capital in the final match of the regular URC season. Smith told 'Leinster are the standard setters in this competition. They finished top of the standings for a reason, and have consistently out-performed teams across the course of this season while showing their strength in depth. 'It is a challenge that we know we will need to be at our best to meet, and the players are focused on the task at hand. 'Training this week has been sharp and competitive, with every player working hard for each other to put this squad in the best possible position.'

URC play-offs: Glasgow Warriors v Stormers
Update: Date: 19:27 BST Title: Post Content: Glasgow Warriors v Stormers (19:35) Some hardy Stormers fans have made the trip to Glasgow to cheers their team on tonight. Update: Date: 19:24 BST Title: Can Glasgow replicate last season's success? Content: Glasgow Warriors v Stormers (19:35) Andy BurkeBBC Sport Scotland at Scotstoun In many respects, this campaign bears many of the hallmarks of last season for Glasgow Warriors, one that saw them go all the way in the United Rugby Championship. Superb consistency to remain in the top two for the majority of the campaign, only to fall off with some patchy form late in the regular season to finish fourth. Now, as then, the Stormers lie in wait in the quarter-finals in what should be a belting showdown at Scotstoun. Not many expected Glasgow to pick up the sort of steam they did in last year's play-offs, sweeping aside the South African side at home before stunning wins away to Munster and the Bulls to take the title. Even as defending champions, Warriors are once again viewed largely as outsiders behind the likes of Leinster, Bulls and the Sharks in the race to lift the trophy. They have more recent experience of going the distance, however, and only a fool would write them off. Update: Date: 19:21 BST Title: McKay & Venter return for Warriors Content: Glasgow Warriors v Stormers (19:35) Glasgow Warriors are able to call upon Josh McKay and Henco Venter this evening, but are without Scotland centre Huw Jones, who has an Achilles problem. McKay returns from injury while Venter is available again following suspension amid several changes to the side beaten by Leinster in the final match of Glasgow's regular league season. Gregor Hiddleston and Murphy Walker join Jamie Bhatti in the front row and Scott Cummings partners Alex Samuel in the second row. George Horne and Tom Jordan are the preferred half-backs, Stafford McDowall replaces Jones alongside Sione Tuipulotu, while Kyle Rowe shifts to the wing to accommodate McKay at full-back. Kyle Rowe starts on the wing for Glasgow Update: Date: 19:18 BST Title: Line-ups from Scotstoun Content: Glasgow Warriors v Stormers (19:35) Glasgow Warriors: McKay, Rowe, McDowall, Tuipulotu, Steyn, Jordan, Horne; Bhatti, Hiddleston, Walker, Samuel, Cummings, Ferrie, Darge, Venter. Replacements: Matthews, McBeth, Talakai, Williamson, Mann, Duncan, Dobie, Hastings. Stormers: Gelant, Loader, Hartzenberg, Du Plessis, Senatla, Feinberg-Mngomezulu, Ungerer; Vermaak, Venter, Fouche, Moerat, Van Heerden, De Villiers, Theunissen, Roos. Replacements: Dweba, Matongo, Sandi, Schickerling, Evans, Nel, Jantjies, Libbok. Update: Date: 19:15 BST Title: It's knockout time Content: Glasgow Warriors v Stormers (19:35) Glasgow host Stormers in the first URC quarter-final this evening, as Franco Smith's side attempt to defend their league title. Warriors triumphed when these sides met at this stage last season and would love a repeat performance. Kick-off is 20 minutes away, so let's have a look at the teams.
