Skeen back as 'Sonians continue title push against Hawick
The former Newcastle provisional signing was competing at Dubai Sevens last weekend and missed 'Sonians 24-21 win at Aberdeen, which kept alive their faint title hopes.

Currie have an eight-point advantage over Ayr with 'Sonians a further point back, but five points are available for each match.
