Head Coach Ben Cairns Coments on the match -

'Having weathered the storm in the first 40 minutes versus Stirling I was really pleased with how the players started the 2nd half. There were still some clear areas to work on however the application and attitude of the players could not be faulted. More of the same will be required this weekend in another tough away match. Hawks play a great brand of rugby and can score from anywhere on the pitch. I am sure they will be hurting from last week’s result and we know Fin will get a reaction out of the boys for this weekend. It looks as though the playoff spots will go down to the wire, we are in a good position at the minute and it’s important we continue that momentum with only three league games to go.'
