Match Preview

: Six changes to the squad due to injuries and unavailability. Paul Cairncross has a dead calf and regular skipper Stephen Leckey has broken a rib, which allows Aaron Burgess to come in and get another start at hooker while Tongan Sione Halafihi is added to the second-row. Lewis Stewart has been called into work which allows Craig Nolan to slot into the back-row straight from the Future XV after impressing in training. JP Thomson returns from injury just in time to make up a new-look back-row, with Ryan Howie out having sustained a concussion. In the backs, Jos McConkey has broken a finger and Calum Ferrie is preferred to Wayne Burrows having returned from being long-term injury cover for the Future XV. Euan Muirhead has been released from Boroughmuir Bears as part of the Super Series draft and is at full-back. Hawks are hoping Oli McKenna, who has been training with Glasgow Warriors this week, will be cleared to play adult rugby by Scottish Rugby in time to sit on the bench.
