Find out who is in the matchday squad to play at home to Boroughmuir Bears today...

Head coach Fergus Pringle has made two changes to the starting XV as the Super6 squad prepare to take on Boroughmuir Bears on Sunday at Myreside (2pm).

For the FOSROC Super6 clash, Harrison Courtney and Cal Davies return in the front-row.

Finlay Simpson is back on the bench in place of Gregor Nelson.

“We need to be at our best”

The Myreside men have won three games in a row, but know that the Bears will have been buoyed by their recent triumph over Heriot’s.

“They have a strong pack and some good backs, so we know we will need to be at our best in this one,” said Pringle.

The Bears starting XV has remained largely unchanged, but Fijian World Cup player Mesu Dolokotu could be involved off the bench having been released by Glasgow Warriors for this Edinburgh derby which is the first leg of the Allan McNish Memorial Trophy clashes.

The Allan McNish Memorial Trophy was introduced a few years ago by the McNish family to mark the special connection between the two clubs.
