Highland RFC will lose experienced pair Andrew Findlater and Stevie Rutledge for tomorrow’s trip to Falkirk.

Head coach Dave Carson anticipates another physical test for the National League Two newcomers in their second league outing of the season.

Forward Findlater has been hit with a neck injury sustained in last weekend’s rousing 37-13 home win over Preston Lodge, while right winger Rutledge picked up a hamstring problem in the victory.

Falkirk may well offer just as formidable a test for a Highland side who started last season two divisions below their hosts before surging to title success in National League Three.
