The visitors will very likely find that the lessons learned from their fellow Yorkshiremen have been digested and they will face an Ayr team determined to be the first Scottish winners in the competition on home soil.

Tickets, available on the gate, are priced at £10 for adults and £5 for OAPs. Under 18s are free

"It was a real eye-opener and we have to learn very quickly from that game" was the consensus among the Ayr players after the 32-7 defeat against Doncaster Knights last Sunday.

When Rotherham pitch up at Millbrae in round two of the British and Irish Cup tomorrow night (ko 8pm), they will very likely find that the lessons learned from their fellow Yorkshiremen have been digested and they will face an Ayr team determined to be the first Scottish winners in the competition on home soil.

Frazier Climo returns to the No10 slot for Ayr and with over one hundred and fifty points under his belt already this season, he will undoubtedly be a key man in what is a powerful looking Ayr line up. Another big factor in the Ayr performance will be what is expected to be a big crowd who know how to get behind the Scottish Hydro Premier 1 champions and can intimidate even the most experienced of visitors.

"The crowd are always fantastic at Millbrae and we know we can't let them down" said skipper Damien Kelly "and since we have been termed a big game team in the past, we should perform since club games don't come much bigger than this one."
