The 1XV for tomorrow night's Tennent's Premiership match under the lights at Myreside

TEAM NEWS||

The 1XV Squad has been announced for the Tennent's Premiership match against The Edinburgh Academical FC tomorrow night with a 7.45pm Kick Off.

Connor Boyle and Rory Hutton both drop out after picking up injuries in last weekend's defeat. James Miller starts in the back row and Paul Cunningham takes over at 13. There could be a 1XV debut for Charlie McKill who is on the bench after an injury lay-off and Rory Steele is in line to make his 99th appearance for the 1XV from the bench.

Head Coach Steve Lawrie is hoping the switch to Friday night could enhance the crowd at Myreside, "Another massive Edinburgh derby this weekend with us welcoming Edinburgh Accies to Myreside on Friday night. Derek and his team have shown improvement week on week and we need to ensure we play in the correct way in order to get ourselves back on track

With Edinburgh Rugby playing on Saturday we are hopeful the Edinburgh public will get down and enjoy the occasion."

For those who cannot make it down, we will have LIVE! coverage via our Facebook page. Commentators this week are former 1XV Captain and current sponsor through ACE Property - Alan Nash. He will be joined by former 1XV flying machine and WFC 7s answer to Serevi - Ali Rowe. Tune in from 7.40pm.

The bar opens at 5pm with the pre-match dinner sitting down at 5.45pm where former WFC, Scotland and British Lion, Gavin Hastings is the guest speaker.
