Lawson clocks up his half century

It will be the 23-year-old hooker's fiftieth game for the professional team, an achievement racked up in little over two years. The former Biggar and Melrose forward's Glasgow debut was while he was with the latter club, when he played as a replacement against The Borders on Hogmanay 2002.

None of Glasgow's current international players is available for the day-trip to Limerick. Glasgow therefore stand by the team who started in the Hughenden game that ended as a 27-all draw with Ospreys three weeks ago.

Two changes have been made among the replacements. John Barclay, captain of the Scotland under-19 team, and Gareth Maclure return to replace the injured pair, John Beattie and David Millard.
