Scottish rugby union prop for Glasgow Warriors and Scotland
Jamie Ritchie could make his Glasgow Warriors debut this weekend after a long injury lay-off. The Scotland back row has trained fully and is in line to feature against Benetton in Treviso, with coaches emphasising patience and timing in his comeback.
Glasgow Warriors have come from 12-0 down to beat Sale 47-27 in their Champions Cup opener, with late tries from Darge, Smith and Tuipulotu sealing the bonus point. Sale briefly led again but Glasgow’s driving maul proved decisive and ensured maximum points as the clubs head into December fixtures.
Ruwald van der Merwe makes a high-impact debut at No. 8 for Glasgow Warriors against Sale Sharks, while Ottavio Tuipulotu also debuts off the bench. Gregor Hiddleston’s late withdrawal prompts the elder Tuipulotu to share in an emotional moment as the Scots secure a bonus-point win. The squad’s new signings, including Jack Singleton and Bayley Kuenzele, are integrated amid a busy recruitment drive.
