Accies have been forced to make changes for the game against Dumfries from the team that beat Alan Glens on Saturday.
Full back and Captain Ross Chassels is away to Twickenham and Brad Wirth moves back from centre to cover the full back position. Scrum half Alan Wilson moves from scrum half back to his more usual slot in the centre. The experienced Richard Taylor comes in at scrum half.
In the forwards Paul Allan drops out due the unfortunate head injury last Saturday and he is replaced by Dave McLaughlin who has had a good number of games already this season.
The replacements are all changed. Ace goal kicker Ali McLaren returns to the bench following exams and Kenny Weir makes a return after two years away from the game. His return certainly hots up the challenge for the scrum half's position.
In the forwards Colin Tennant returns after a week away on holiday and the promising young prop Matt Franklin is back after a short absence.
The match kicks off at New Anniesland at 2pm. Accies supporters are urged to come out and support the team and stay on to see the game from Twickenham on the big screen.
