It's back to the home comforts of Millbrae this Saturday, after two away games on the trot, the last against Currie proving Ayr's undoing. They face Aberdeen in what is expected to be yet another difficult encounter in a highly competitive season.
The coaches and players have gone through a review of last week's defeat, with head coach Kenny Murray concluding that it was a frustrating afternoon but acknowledging the superior play of Currie. Everyone is now looking ahead.
"We are fully focused on Aberdeen, who will be confident following their first win of the season at the expense of Accies," muses Murray. "We have a strong team and a strong bench and we intend to get right back on track at Millbrae and extend our lead at the top of the table."
Despite injuries amongst the squad, there is still competition for places. Notable changes include influential scrum-half Peter Jericevich returning from Scotland 7s duty, and James Eddie who has been released from Glasgow Warriors for the weekend.
Squad rotation sees hooker Hayden Wisnewski promoted from the bench, where he is replaced by Stuart Fenwick. George Hunter returns from Heineken Cup duty with Glasgow Warriors, with Scotland under-18s prop D'Arcy Rae dropping back to the replacements.
Team (subject to change on match day):
Grant Anderson, Craig Gossman, Robbie Fergusson, Richard Dalgleish, Cammy Taylor; Finn Russell, Peter Jericevich; Denford Mutamangira, Hayden Wisnewski, George Hunter; Nick Campbell, Scott Sutherland; James Eddie, Andrew Dunlop, Callum Forrester (capt).
Replacements: David Young, D'Arcy Rae, Colin White, Ross Doneghan, Sylvain Diez.
