In this week's podcast - the only podcast to cover exclusively club rugby in Scotland - Stuart and Dale look ahead to Saturday's matches.
As always, we'd like to thank the following clubs for supporting the podcast - Hawick, Marr, Selkirk, Jedforest, Kelso, Glasgow Hawks, Ayr, Melrose, Gala, Peebles, Stirling County, Berwick and Stewart's-Melville. You can hear from these clubs in every episode of the podcast throughout the season.
In the Premiership, the Marr v Edinburgh Accies game looks very interesting with Marr chasing Hawick for first place, but table-toppers Hawick have a home match against Jedforest, who are winless at the bottom of the pile and it would be a major shock if they can beat the Greens on their home patch, something no club has done since October 2019. Glasgow Hawks have never beaten Currie in a Premiership game but they'll have a chance to beat the third-placed side at Balgray.
In National 1 Ayr are still unbeaten after 12 games and welcome Gala to Millbrae. Ayr are 19 points ahead at the top and are unlikely to be caught, but the relegation battle between 10th side GHK and 9th team Dundee could be very interesting with just six games left to play in the league for both of them.
National 2 is very competitive right now with Falkirk on 47, Peebles 46, Newton Stewart 45 and Lasswade 43, so Peebles v Falkirk looks very tasty indeed.
National 3 has top of the table Preston Lodge visiting the fourth team in the table, Howe of Fife, but unbeaten Orkney welcome Boroughmuir to their patch on what could be their 11th win in a row this season. Allan Glen's are likely to be too strong for Dumfries on the road to keep up the pressure on the two clubs above them.
On Rugby Radio this weekend at www.rugbyradio.co.uk you can hear three and a half hours of live rugby direct from Philiphaugh with full commentary of the Premiership fixture between Selkirk and Kelso, plus live score updates from across the country and interviews.
