Comments on selection:
This week some squad rotations take place as we try and manage our team in what has been a dynamic first four games. Brendan Cullinane comes in at tight head making his first league start since moving in the summer from Garryowen in Munster. Mike Adamson returns at standoff having been rested last week. The bench sees Jack McFarlane and Craig Bachurzewski add considerable size to our front row off the bench. Andy White and Jack Steele return to the bench this week covering the backline.

Comments on game:
Stirling are a formidable opponent anywhere but especially at Bridgehaugh. We realise that territory and possession will be critical in attempting to win there for the first time in several years. Focussing on ourselves we realise we have had a positive start to life in the RBS Premiership, however we are eager to improve through reducing our individual technical errors that will allow us to develop close games into victories in what is an extremely competitive league.
