A wake-up call last week but Ayr have recovered well – and look ready for next week’s big game. Watsonians face a big battle to be ‘best of the rest’ come April. Five tries for Heriot’s – maybe they have finally got the show back on the road. Concentration rather than skill, style or tempo killed Boroughmuir against Hawks. Mansfield Park was a tough step in the learning process for this young Currie side. A hard one to take for Stirling at Millbrae, but nothing wrong with their attitude – and their injury situation will improve. The longer it takes Gala to shore up primary possession, the harder their season is going to be. Hawick are a different animal at home than they are on the road.
