Haupeakui to make Guinness Pro 12 Debut

Langilangi Haupeakui is to make his Guinness Pro 12 debut on Friday. The rampaging Californian has been named on the bench for the Glasgow Warriors who host Treviso at Scotstoun.

Haupeakui recently signed for the Scottish team. His arrival followed an impressive season of PRO Rugby for the Sacramento Express. His rapid rise even saw him making his international debut this past June against Russia.

The 27-year-old is to be joined by a second North American on the bench. Canadian Djustice Sears-Duru will feature as a reserve prop. Also included is Tommy Seymour. The Scottish international is from Tennessee. He will start on the right wing.

The Scottish side enter as firm favorites. They have won their last twenty matches against Italian opposition.
