| Scrum-half Rory Lawson will make his first start following a minor injury to Mike Blair’s knee which he sustained in Sunday’s win, props Dave Hewett and Craig Smith rejoin the side, as does Francisco Leonelli who will this week start on the left wing in place of Simon Webster, who drops to the bench.
A reaction to an injury sustained by Matt Mustchin on Sunday has opened the door for Simon Cross’s return to the team at openside flanker. Allister Hogg switches to the blind side.
