Two changes to the starting line up from the team that edged past Peebles in the last outing. Euan Clark has recovered from injury and returns at Scum Half in place of Kenny Bowie. Ross Rennie is also available to play this week, having been released from Scotland U19 duties. He comes into the back row for Dougie Rycroft, who must make do with a place on the bench.

At twenty years and four months, Stephen Dalgleish lines up in his fiftieth 1st XV match, which is a fantastic achievement for somebody so young. In his last few outings, Dalgy has rediscovered the form that made him last year's Young Player of the Year, and I'm sure we'll get another big performance out of him on Sunday.

The games between these two teams have been very close in the last few seasons, with Haddington having the edge in terms of results. This is, however, a must-win game if we are to keep our promotion hopes alive, and the boys are, after a week off, raring to go and ready for action. With only Nick Penny and Chris Bissett unavailable for selection through injury, the squad is as strong as we could hope for at this stage of the season.
