Coach’s Comments on Selection:
The squad for the first game of the new season has 3 debutants, Erland Oag, George Horne and Sam Thomson and a return to Premiership rugby for Gary Strain having been playing for Newcastle Falcons for the past couple of seasons.
Coach’s Comments on Match etc:
The excitement is building in the lead up to Saturday when both teams will be aiming to perform after a solid pre-season. Heriots have been a strong team in the league over the past 2 seasons and will be looking to progress into a dominant force this year. As ever we aim to be competitive and are aiming to develop and progress from last season. Goldenacre always serves up a great opportunity to play rugby and is something we are relishing the prospect of.
