Full-back Bernardo joined Glasgow at the start of the 2007/8 season and has endeared himself to the Warriors fans with his fearless attitude.

Bernie said: "I am very happy and sometimes a little tired but I love playing rugby and I love training. I understand that I am near the end of my career so to play every week is very important to me. If I avoid injury maybe I can play another two years, three years maybe."

"Sean gives the players a lot of confidence and the younger players are developing very well. The spirit within the team is very good and there are no egos. I think that Scottish players are very like Argentines, they are both very friendly people."

Bernie is an Argentinian international with 18 caps and 9 tries. He's also skippered his country at "A" level.

He's enjoyed spells in France with Narbonne, and England where he played for Rotherham and Bristol.

Having joined the Warriors on a one-year-deal from Bristol Bernie quickly became a crowd favourite and extended his stay in Glasgow, signing up for a further two years.

“I have always given my best for the Glasgow shirt and I love playing for the fans and for the city,“ said Bernie after signing his new contract. “My family and I are very settled in Glasgow and I’m happy to have extended my contract.

“The fans have been great to me since I arrived so I hope this shows my commitment to them. I just can’t wait to give them something to shout about this Friday.”

Warriors head coach, Sean Lineen, added: “Bernie is a great team man and has been one of our players of the season.

“He’s a fantastic trainer, very safe under the high ball and he gives everything his all.”
