Hamilton BHS have been releasing their 1st XV squad over the last 2 weeks. I was told by one of the coaches last year that they would be losing about 10 players, of which about half were in the starting XV. Some of the newbies went to Thailand for the World Schools Festival so have had some previous experience.
