Entry is free for all supporters via the East Stand, with the Tap & Tackle bar open for drinks and refreshments.

The game sees the unbeaten Falcons continuing their series of matches against the Scottish Super 6 sides, having already defeated Heriots, Watsonians, Stirling County and Southern Knights.

England Under-18s wing Matthew Ward is handed a start in a back-line which sees England Under-20s’ Will Haydon-Wood at fly-half.

Prop Rodney Ah You and lock Toby Salmon add experience to a forward pack which includes a host of the club’s most promising young players.
