Head Coach Fergus Pringle selects the matchday 23...

UPDATE: Sam Daly misses out with an injury, so Harry Fisher starts at No.8 and young back Angus Hoffie comes onto the bench and could make a Super6 debut.

Watsonians Rugby Head Coach Fergus Pringle has named the matchday 23 for the FOSROC Super6 2021 match away to The Southern Knights on Friday (7.30pm).

The tasty looking round seven clash at The Greenyards is first versus second in the table and when the sides met recently at Myreside it resulted in a hard fought 32-21 victory for 'Sonians.

For this clash in the Borders, Harrison Courtney and Angus Williams come in as the starting props with Kwagga Van Niekerk coming in at six. His addition means that Karl Main shifts to seven with Harry Fisher reverting to the bench.

Lewis Berg is back from injury and starts in the centre alongside Scott King while FOSROC Scottish Rugby Academy player Roan Frostwick starts at scrum-half. The split is six-two on the bench with Nathan Borel making a welcome return to the fold.

Pringle said: "It is always a tough challenge going down to The Greenyards and one we are excited about taking on this week. Our focus is on putting in an accurate and composed 80 minute performance.

"We'll need to do that to get the result against a quality Knights team."
