Two Border Reivers players are to be examined by surgeon Gordon MacKay on Tuesday after injuries they sustained in their defeat against Llanelli Scarlets on Sunday.
Stand-off Gregor Townsend damaged his left ankle, while second-row forward Opeta Palepoi injured his right knee.

Reivers’ physiotherapist Danny Pullman said today: “Gregor’s ankle is very swollen and sore.  He will see the surgeon tomorrow and will be subject to ongoing assessment. Opeta will also see the surgeon tomorrow with a view to assessing the damage to his knee.”
