Glasgow want Masoe

Former All Black Chris Masoe is in the sights of Glasgow.
Masoe, 32, has been playing his rugby in France since the 2007 Rugby World Cup, and most recently has been leading Castres.
However, Warriors coach Sean Lineen has lost No.8 Johnnie Beattie and is looking at Masoe as his replacement. The franchise has also lost Test players Kelly Brown to Saracens and Richie Vernon to Sale.
Recently, Glasgow have signed the Lamont brothers, Rory (fullback) and Sean (wing) from Toulon and the Scarlets respectively.
Masoe has visited the Glasgow club and inspected their facilities and is expected to make a decision this week.
While he played openside back-up to captain Richie McCaw for the All Blacks, he has settled more into the No.8 role with his French club.
