Glasgow v Leinster: Mike Blair to be first rugby player to a wear game-time microphone

Glasgow Warriors scrum-half Mike Blair will become the first player in world rugby to wear a microphone during a match, live on Sky Sports.

Glasgow face Leinster in the Guinness Pro12 on Saturday - live on Sky Sports 1HD from 2.45pm - and viewers will be taken even closer to the action with Blair set to be audible throughout the match. 

Rugby referees have been kitted-up with microphones for several years, but never has a player held a game-time conversation live to the nation.
