Another of Glasgow's 'centurions,' Tommy Hayes, returns at fly-half after a leg injury forced him miss the 35-21 defeat in Bourgoin last weekend. Hayes for Calvin Howarth is the only change in the team who started in Sunday's match at Stade Pierre Rajon. Howarth is among the replacements.

It is the first time this season that only one of them has started when both Hayes and Howarth have been available. In nine previous matches Hayes has been at outside centre and Howarth at stand-off. Only once this season has Hayes been at outside half, and that was when Howarth was unavailable because of injury for the Heineken match at Llanelli two months ago.

'We're looking for a bit of spark,' Kiwi Searancke, Glasgow's coach, commented about the return of Hayes to stand-off. 'But there's not a lot in it.'

Glasgow go into tomorrow's match with a belief that they can keep themselves in the Heineken hunt by beating Bourgoin. 'The guys are excited,' Searanche said.

'Partly because they finished so well in Bourgoin. But also there's been confidence building in the past month.'
