[QUOTE="CaledonCol, post: 819906, member: 73762"] Glasgow coach Gregor Townsend believes his players will relish a "step up" in competition as they prepare for their Champions Cup opener against Leicester. The Warriors emerged from a testing clash with Zebre in Parma with a bonus-point win to move fourth in the Pro12. Many frontline players missed the trip, leaving them fresh for Friday's match. "The pleasing thing is we have played four away games in our first six Pro12 matches and we are a point off the top of the league," Townsend said. "We probably haven't played our best in all those games so we know there is a lot more to come from this group." The likes of Scotland lock Jonny Gray and wing Tommy Seymour - who had both played five games in a row - were rested this weekend, while half-backs Finn Russell and Henry Pyrgos are among others likely to return on Friday.
