Glasgow Caledonian Reds have made four changes to their side for tomorrow's trip to Newport.

Injuries have forced wingers James Craig (thigh strain) and Shaun Longstaff (broken nose) out of the side beaten by Edinburgh Reivers last Friday, giving opportunities to James McLaren and youngster Rory Kerr, whose career has been blighted by knee injuries.

In the pack, Steve Griffiths has dropped out with a calf injury to be replaced by Colin Stewart, and while Donnie Macfadyen is expected to shake off a back problem to be able to sit on the bench, he drops out to make way for Gareth Flockhart, who has shown impressive form for Stirling County in recent weeks. Team:

G Metcalfe; J McLaren, A Bulloch, J Stuart, R Kerr; T Hayes, A Nicol (captain); D Hilton, G Bulloch, G McIlwham, C Stewart, J White, G Simpson, G Flockhart, J Petrie. Replacements - G Scott, L Harrison, R Reid, D Macfadyen, F Stott, B Irving, A Henderson.
