Pinder eyeing Warriors century
27 March 2008, 12:42 pm
By Tim Sanderson
Scotland scrum-half Sam Pinder hopes he will be able to celebrate his 100th game for Glasgow Warriors with a rare victory over Newport-Gwent Dragons.
The New Zealand-born player came to Scotland in 2003 as he struggled to oust All Blacks No 9's Steve Devine and Mark Robinson from the Auckland side.

With a grandmother who hails from East Lothian, Pinder jumped at the chance to revitalise his career with GHA and then the Warriors.

He impressed the Scotland set-up sufficiently by 2006 to be selected for the summer tour of South Africa.

Frank Hadden awarded him his first cap as a second-half substitute for Mike Blair in Durban and followed up with a second replacement appearance in the second Test in Port Elizabeth a week later.

Now, after being on the fringes of the Scotland squad for the 2008 RBS 6 Nations, he has set his sights on making his 100th game for Glasgow a memorable one.

He told Glasgow's website: “We’ve got Edinburgh in two weeks but the Dragons game is the big one this week.

“I’ve only beaten them once in the whole five years I’ve been here. They seem to be a bit of a bogey team for us because I think they play a similar game to Glasgow.

“They’ve had the upper hand in most battles but we’re definitely looking to turn that around on Sunday that’s for sure.

“Personally it’s a huge honour to have played for Glasgow 100 times. It’s a milestone that I’ll take into the game, but I won’t think too much about it but it’s certainly something I’m quite happy to achieve.

“It’s not really a big thing but I guess it’s something that, after my rugby career, I’ll look back and say I played 100 games for one club. It’s quite an honour.”
