Sean Kennedy will continue at scrum-half when BKT United Rugby Championship leaders Glasgow face Munster in Ireland on Friday night.

Kennedy scored a try in Warriors’ bonus-point win over Ulster last weekend on his first start in more than two-and-a-half years.
Fellow number nine George Horne remains absent after suffering a minor hamstring problem shortly after Franco Smith lost Jamie Dobie to a serious ankle injury and Ali Price to a surprise loan move to Edinburgh.
Smith has rung the changes with Johnny Matthews, Nathan McBeth, Lucio Sordoni, Sintu Manjezi, Sione Vailanu and Henco Venter coming into the pack and Duncan Weir and Ollie Smith also recalled.
Head coach Smith told glasgowwarriors.org:
“The URC is such a competitive competition, yet travelling to Munster remains one of the most difficult challenges in the league.
“Munster are defending champions for a reason; they are a team filled with experience and international quality who know how to perform on the big stage.
“It will be a huge challenge for us and we know we have to be at our best.”

The writer here ignores the fact that, following on from not taking the penalty kick, the All Blacks did manage to score a try a few minutes later. Not directly from the penalty awarded, but it is speculation to say that had they opted to take the koi they would have won. Even if they kicked it, which was no guarantee, they would still be trailing and would have had to start again at half-way.
Go to commentsI would be surprised if Sales Opoku Fordjour and Northampton’s Tommy Freeman are not in the team, Anthony Watson is also one that could go on the wing. One thing I must say is that the front 3 will get destroyed against a team like South Africa.
