Wasps v Glasgow: Teams

Wasps director of rugby Tony Hanks has admitted Sunday's clash with Glasgow is his side's "biggest game of the season".

Wasps claimed a spirited bonus losing point away at defending champions Toulouse last time out, but Hanks knows it is vital for his side to win if they are to keep their qualification hopes alive.

"This is our biggest game of the season to date but the selection also represents the strength of the squad," said Hanks.

"Good competition for places is vital for us to be contenders and it is important after the emotion, travel and conditions of last week's game we select a side with some fresh legs and players keen to impress with their chance.

"We have a lot of respect for the Warriors side and the challenge ahead, especially having played them in pre-season fixtures for the last two seasons. From our point of view we are keen to build on last week but we know that a win is the only option."

Hanks has rotated his side with Riki Flutey, David Lemi, Charlie Beech, Rob Webber and Dan Ward-Smith all coming into the starting line up, while Richard Haughton moves to full-back.

Glasgow coach Sean Lineen believes his side can follow up their 21-13 win over the Dragons with a victory over Wasps.

Lineen has kept faith in the same XV who saw of the Welsh region, although Calum Forrester is named on the bench.

"We need to look at this game and go 'what an opportunity'," said Lineen.

"This is the first time for so long that Glasgow have won their first-up Heineken game, so for us, this represents something special, maybe we can make a bit of history.

"Going down there is going to be incredibly difficult. Wasps are a quality team with a lot of pedigree behind them in the Heineken Cup.

"They have quality individuals with a lot of belief and are a very physical team."
