The wet conditions are already having an effect, as Benetton scrum-half Alessandro Garbisi knocks the ball on at the back of the ruck.

Benetton have come out the blocks swinging and have found themselves deep in the Glasgow half.

Their attack is brought to a close however after being pinged for not releasing.

Tomaso Albornoz gets this round 11 clash under way.

Glasgow head coach Franco Smith tells Viaplay:

"It's always special coming back here. I'm excited to be back and I'm happy to see both sides full and the dream that they've had here coming true.

"Being from Scotland, it's always rainy there but I think the water on the field will make a difference, we aren't used to that. It might affect the game a little bit but we still hope to make it spectacular.

"Every game is important, it's not going to make or break anything. As a team we want to progress and do well. We aren't competing against Benetton today but ourselves."

Franco Smith has named three hookers in his matchday 23, as he looks to get his best players on the park, regardless of their most natural position.

Johnny Matthews starts, while Angus Fraser and Gregor Hiddleston are both named on the bench.

"Last game out, we had three hookers and three scrum halves, so that is the way we do it," he said.

"I’m excited to see the guys' versatility. They were all willing to contribute, even if it is outside of their role.

"We want good rugby players out there and not necessarily players in a specific role. It’s fantastic for the availability of these boys to change environment. Everyone has got their role to play."

Glasgow Warriors head coach Franco Smith has made two changes to his starting XV from the comfortable 40-7 victory over Ospreys last time out.

Sebastian Cancelliere returns from a neck injury to start on the wing, with Facundo Cordero and Josh McKay completing the back three.

Cancelliere's inclusion sees Jamie Dobie shift to scrum-half, with Ben Afshar dropping to the bench.

In the pack Nathan McBeth starts in place of Jamie Bhatti, who is not in the matchday squad.
