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.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
