Ayr have a one-point lead at the top of the table over Melrose, although the Borders side have a game in hand, and are hoping to put in a strong performance against Watsonians after a good six-try win against Glasgow Hawks last week and ahead of the play-offs next month.
However, the visitors have already shown Ayr and the rest of the league what they are capable of since their promotion into the top flight and the Millbrae men are ready for a battle.
"We know just how dangerous Watsonians can be," says Ayr head coach Calum Forrester, "having lost at Myreside earlier in the season. Marcus and Simon (Di Rollo and Taylor, Watsonians' coaches) have them playing an exciting, attacking brand of rugby. For us, we are looking to build on last week's performance."
In the squad, flankers Gregor Henry and Will Bordill switch places from bench to starting line-up, and hooker Lewis Anderson makes up a strong and speedy front row with George Hunter and Steven Longwell.
