Lineen eager to build on win against Leinster
The Warriors caused a shock when they inflicted the first home Leinster defeat in 29 regular-season matches since October 2009.
Lineen is adamant that the same ingredients will be needed again if his men are to record back-to-back victories.

“Against Leinster, we were strong in our work at the breakdown and set-piece, and we were alert and ambitious enough to take our scoring chances when they presented themselves.
“Treviso haven’t won a game so far this season, but we’re not fooled by that. They’re a strong, combative side who will make life difficult and give us real problems if we’re not right at the top of our game once more.”
There are three changes to the Glasgow starting line-up. Pat MacArthur comes in for Finlay Gillies at hooker, Ryan Wilson slots in at No 8 and Duncan Weir replaces Scott Wight at stand-off.
