TOMMY SEYMOUR will become a Glasgow Warriors centurion when the Scotstoun club face Leinster in the Pro12 on Friday.
The Scotland international, who was one of only two Scots to be selected for this summer's British and Irish Lions tour along with teammate Stuart Hogg, has been named at full-back for the trip to Dublin.
Seymour will make his 100th appearance for the club and is joined by Leonardo Sarto and Lee Jones in the back three, while Peter Horne retains his place at fly-half ahead of Finn Russell.
“It has been a good couple of weeks for Tommy, he’s always looking to develop and better himself and it’s great for him to reach a personal milestone," said head coach Gregor Townsend.
“Having signed a new contract earlier in the season I’m sure he’ll go on to shine for the club many more times in the future.
“Leinster are a team we always look forward to playing, they’re one of the best teams in Europe and play really positive rugby. We’ll have to go there and play really well to come away with a win.”
Glasgow are currently sixth in the Pro12 table with two games remaining, while Leinster top the standings having won 17 of their 20 league games this season.

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
