Duncan Weir says Glasgow Warriors' strength in depth will be key if they are to repeat last season's United Rugby Championship title success.
Missing a host of players through injury and Six Nations duty, Warriors ground out a narrow win in terrible weather conditions at Scotstoun to consolidate second place in the table behind leaders Leinster.
Weir skippered Warriors for the first time and kicked seven points to edge out the men fron Galway.
Talking to BBC Scotland, Weir said: "We showed our versatility in the squad last season. I think that kept us fresh at the right bit of the season. So, again, that result just gives Franco [Smith] confidence to make more changes.
"Maybe when the Six Nations boys come back and they're feeling a bit battered and bruised from that, then we can still make those changes and still come away with results.
"That's the Glasgow that I know. Back in the day, 15 years ago, 10 years ago, that's what we would have done.
"We would make changes at this period in the season and we would grow, we would come alive and the crop of the next generation came through and really took their chance and gave confidence for the coaches to select them. This was another great example."
