With BT National League sides having had a week off, it was a chance to recharge the batteries or lick some very sore wounds.
Dundee High Rugby’s 48-14 thumping of Edinburgh Accies last time out set them up for a massive match at Myreside on Saturday.
Watsonians are second in the table with 21 points but scratched a shaky 34-30 win at Jed.
Although Dundee are seventh in the table, a win here could bounce them back into contention.
Licking their wounds is what Howe of Fife will have been doing after the 52-19 defeat at Troon against leaders Marr took them from contention to mid-table.
They face another difficult prospect at Duffus Park tomorrow.
Aberdeen Grammar Rugby are on 15 points, the same as Howe, but are a place above them in fifth spot on points differential and come off a 60-20 trouncing of Kelso on their own patch.
Biggar took the spoils by 42-19 when they met Kirkcaldy on a chilly night at Beveridge Park and that result dropped Kirkcaldy to 10th spot in the table, with only Ardrossan one place below by dint of differential, and winless Greenock at the bottom.
They could hardly have wished for a more daunting fixture this week as they travel to face BT National 2 leaders Hamiltont.
Hamilton are unbeaten and top the table by five points so, having continued their free-scoring season with a 47-7 win over Cartha a fortnight ago, they will have another big score in their sights when Kirkcaldy come to call.
A tasty one is in store at Park Farm when third in the BT National 3 table Perthshire pitch up to play league leaders Dumfries.
The home side are undefeated, come off a 60-20 win at Irvine last time out and are on 22 points.
Perthshire were similarly ruthless at North Inch against Berwick as they racked up a 64-14 win. With three league points separating them this is another one which could be close, but home advantage would suggest Dumfries will hold on to top spot.
