Experimental Law Variations are poised to be introduced this season, mainly in an attempt to create a more flowing, attractive spectacle.

It will be more difficult to dominate and win a game with merely a rolling maul and an accurate penalty kicker as attacking weapons.

Glasgow’s players were given a chance to adapt to the ELVs in their pre-season games in France during the XV Challenge Vaquerin tournament and at home to Bristol.

Former Scotland lock Munro said: "It is a very positive exercise from an experimental point of view. Around 25 players have played in our games and they have all got a decent amount of game time.
”It was also a good opportunity to try out some of the new ELVs (Experimental Law Variations), an opportunity we wouldn’t otherwise have had, had we not had these games."
