Blair Murray’s hectic start to the season continues, as he goes straight back into the Scarlets team for the clash with the BKT URC champions at Scotstoun at 2:235 p.m. on Nov. 29.

He featured in the first six league games following his arrival from New Zealand and then started all three autumn tests for Wales, appearing on the wing against Fiji and Australia, before switching to fullback for last weekend’s meeting with South Africa.

Commenting on Murray’s international initiation, which began with a debut try against the Fijians, Scarlets coach Dwayne Peel said: 

“I am really pleased for him. I think he did what was asked of him. You can see what he can do when he has got the ball. That try against Fiji, he looked very sharp there. He has never played fullback for us, so it was obviously a big baptism for him last week, but I felt he looked good there. It’s about getting the ball in his hands. His strength is attack. There is a lot more to come from him.”

The Scarlets welcome back Tongan test No. 8 Vaea Fifita for his first outing since he was injured in the opening game of the season against Benetton Rugby in September, but Wales duo Tom Rogers and Sam Costelow are sidelined. 

In Rogers’ absence with a calf problem, Murray is partnered on the wing by Ellis Mee, a summer recruit from Nottingham, while Ioan Lloyd is at No 10.

Peel said: “We are up against the champions. It will be a tough ask going up there, but we are excited by it.”

Second-placed Glasgow are boosted by the return of seven Scotland autumn squad members, with George Horne starting at scrum-half just five days on from figuring in the victory over Australia. There are no fewer than four hookers in the match-day 23, amid a 6-2 split on the bench.
