On the field, the 16-team line-up features, as ever, all the big familiar names from the south, along with travelling line-ups from around Edinburgh, Fife and Tayside.

Good weather, a large crowd and attractive, attacking rugby is hoped for. Of the contest so far, Mr Frame said: “It’s interesting the way things have panned out.”

Kelso’s sevens lynchpin, Andrew Skeen, is injured, which, said Mr Frame, summed up the side’s “unlucky season”, but everyone was looking forward to the day. Kelso will also be showcasing its new ladies’ team, which will be playing at 1pm, an hour before the main action starts.
