Borders stick with same backline
Border Reivers head coach Steve Bates has selected the same backline that played against Connacht a fortnight ago for this Friday’s Celtic League clash against Leinster.
The pack sees three changes in personnel giving prop Tom McGee and flankers John Dalziel and Scott Gray starting berths.
On the changes in the pack, Bates said: “The guys that came off the bench against Connacht performed well and deserved to keep their places. We have had plenty of time to prepare ourselves for the late kick-off and are very much looking forward to the game.”
