Stuart Moffat will return to the Border Reivers’ starting line-up against Heineken Cup champions Munster on Friuday night after re-signing for the Scottish side last week following a spell with French Top 14 club Castres.
During the international break this weekend, the Reivers have nine internationalists in their squad to take on Munster who they lost 9-8 to at Thomond Park in the second game of the season.

Speaking ahead of tomorrow’s game, head coach Steve Bates said: “We have gone through the whole of January without a game at Netherdale so we are really looking forward to playing on home soil tomorrow.

“The last month has been a tough one as a result of all the travelling we did, but many of our young aspiring professionals have impressed over that period and I think that is reflected in the team selection for this weekend.”
