GLASGOW Warriors have confirmed that they will play two pre-season games in France and Canada. The first match, on Friday 14 August against Clermont Ferrand, takes place at the end of a week-long training camp in France and kicks off at 8pm local time. The second, against Canada, will be played in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on Saturday 29 August, starting at 3pm locally.
“Clermont will provide the ideal test for us ahead of the new season,” Gregor Townsend, Glasgow’s head coach, said of the match against the European Champions Cup runners-up. “We’re also really looking forward to travelling to Nova Scotia to play Canada. It’s an excellent opportunity to play a top-class international side.”
In between the two matches the Warriors will be based in Glasgow for a week of training, including an open training session at Scotstoun on Friday 21 August. They fly to Canada the following Tuesday.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
