Find out who is in the matchday squad to play away to Ayrshire Bulls on Saturday...

Head coach Fergus Pringle has made four changes to the starting XV as the Super6 squad prepare to take on Ayrshire Bulls on Saturday at Millbrae (3pm).

For the FOSROC Super6 clash which sees the second placed Bulls take on the unbeaten leaders, Campbell Wilson comes in at hooker with Cal Davies on the bench.

With Brian Leitch and Morgan Inness unavailable, Finlay Simpson and Michael Badenhorst come into the second-row and back-row respectively.

Angus Guthrie returns on the wing with Ruaraidh Smith on the bench while young second-row Kieran Watt and Gregor Nelson are added to the replacements.

“We will need a disciplined performance”

Ahead of the big game, Pringle said: “As a group we are really looking forward to the challenge of going down to Millbrae to take on Ayr on their home patch.

“They have built some momentum over the last few weeks and we are under no illusions as to how tough a task it will be to come out on top.

“While we’ve been grinding out wins, we feel we still have plenty of room to improve. Our aim is to fix some key areas of our game that weren’t up to scratch against Boroughmuir and then put in a disciplined 80 minute performance come Saturday.”
