Huw Jones returns to the Glasgow Warriors side to face Benetton in the URC on Saturday having been sidelined since the Six Nations with an ankle injury.

Jones joins fellow Lions squad member Scott Cummings in the starting line-up, the latter shifting from his usual position in the second row to blindside flanker.

Sione Tuipulotu is not yet fit to return from the pectoral injury that has kept him out since January but is in contention to face Leinster in the final round of the regular URC season next weekend.

Murphy Walker could make his first Warriors appearance in a year from the bench.
