Ayr take the long road north to face Aberdeen Grammar at Rubislaw on Saturday. In the second of three away games in a row, the Millbrae men will be hoping to return to winning ways after the frustrating one-point loss to Heriot's last weekend.
"We had so much of the game in our favour," reflects head coach Peter Laverie. "However, you can't fault Heriot's defensive effort and work rate."
Laverie is looking forward to a "right good contest" against Grammar.
"Kevin (Wyness, Aberdeen head coach) will have his players ready to give us a going over no doubt and our guys love the challenge."
The squad, once again, has a few changes as competition for places is as competitive as ever, especially with such a stong second XV at Ayr. Flanker Andrew Dunlop returns after a short injury. Finn Russell and Peter Jericevich renew their half-back partnership. On the bench, prop George Hunter is back from a spell at London Scottish and back row Peter McCallum has overcome an injury.
Team:
15. Grant Anderson, 14. Craig Gossman, 13. Robbie Fergusson, 12. Dean Kelbrick, 11. Kerr Gossman; 10. Finn Russell, 9. Peter Jericevich; 1. Denford Mutamangira, 2. Fergus Scott, 3. Nick Cox; 4. Scott Sutherland, 5. Callum Templeton; 6. Graham Fisken, 7. Andrew Dunlop, 8. Calum Forrester (capt).
Replacements:
16. Stuart Fenwick, 17. George Hunter, 18. Peter McCallum, 19. Murray McConnell, 20. Ross Curle.
