Match Preview

Head coach Rhodri Thomas has made a number of changes to the side for the relegation decider against Dalziel.

From the side that lost to Highland last time out, there are four players incoming to the starting line-up.

The changes are split equally between the backs and forwards, with two changes apiece - Garry Cockburn and Harry Hamilton return to a revamped front five, while Cammy Simpson and Ewan Cunningham are selected in the back division.

Former captain Cockburn returns to a new-look front row as he joins up with Sweden internationalists David Bergvall, who switches from loosehead to his preferred tighthead side, and Grillan Grillfors, who is at hooker following his successful 80-minute outing there for his national side last weekend.

Hamilton returns to partner vice-captain Ben Laing in the engine room, meaning Paddy Brown moves to the back-row, joining Jonny Riddell (openside) and another ex-club captain Colin Stuart, who is at number eight.

Behind the pack, Simpson is introduced at scrum-half to allow Alex Ferguson to move to full-back. He takes the number 15 jersey vacated by the departure of Sam Morley, while the back three is competed by the incoming Cunningham - replacing Kyle Hamilton - and James Dewar.

The only area of the field unchanged from the Highland defeat is the centre pairing of captain Liam Clutton and the team's other vice-captain, James Ferguson, who will wear the 12 and 13 shirts respectively.

The bench is made up of Michael Dunlop, Robin Mainstone, Phill Smith and Charlie Hamilton.

Kick off is at 3pm and it would be great to see a big turnout to cheer on the boys for this vital match.
