Lineen’s men take on the Londoners at Firhill tonight and the head coach said: “Wasps are ideal opposition in terms of the physicality they’ll bring to the game, especially with a massive game against Munster next Friday night.

“Wasps have made some huge signings over the summer and are a very passionate and very physical side.”

Although the Warriors are entering their final preparation game of the year, Lineen still feels he has time to experiment with his squad.

“It’s still pre-season so we’re still trying a few things but we’re all looking forward to another good hit-out,” he added.

“There’s still huge competition for places so we’ll give a few players a run and hopefully the supporters will like what we’re trying to do ahead of the new Magners League campaign.”
