Glasgow Warriors head coach Sean Lineen has made six changes to the side that lost to Newport Gwent Dragons last weekend for Friday night's visit of three-times Heineken Cup champions Toulouse to Firhill.

Stand-off Dan Parks and winger Thom Evans have recovered from injury in time for the Warriors' biggest game of the season so far. In the pack, props Kevin Tkachuk and Ed Kalman are promoted from last weekend's bench whilst Dan Turner is given the nod in the second-row and Richie Vernon makes his first competitive start of the season in the back-row.

Lineen said, "I've been really impressed with the players' attitude this week. They let themselves down last weekend and they're doing everything they can to rectify that result.

"We've only had two home games so far this season and the last against the Scarlets was probably the best I've seen since I became involved with Glasgow. The players need to rediscover that form this week and show their class."

Toulouse have made several changes from the side that narrowly defeated Bath in round one. Skipper Jean Bouilhou drops to the bench to be replaced by Yannick Nyanga, Florian Fritz starts at 13 in place of Maleli Kunavore and Clement Poitrenaud takes his place at full-back ahead of Cedric Heymans.

Byron Kelleher continues to partner David Skrela at half-back despite his looming appointment with the citing committee and dangerous youngster Maxime Medard starts out wide.
