The Nuns travel down the A5 tomorrow for a local game against Lutterworth and will be looking to build on the bonus point picked up against Lichfield last weekend. Still looking to get that first win of the season the Nuns created a number of try scoring opportunities last week. Whilst scoring four tries, for a bonus point in a 20-35 loss, they know that they need to be more accurate with possession to be in with a greater chance of getting that win. Lutterworth have started the season well after promotion last year and have 4 wins from 6 games and picked up a good 36-29 win away to Newport last week.
The Saxons have a couple of weeks off until their next game. It’s hoped we will have a number of players back for this game as they still look for their first win after a 17-67 defeat to Handsworth last week.
The Colts are in league action against Barkers Butts tomorrow.
The Saracens have a home derby with Manor Park, 3pm kick off.
Team news: Rudi Reid has rejoined on a short term loan and starts in the second row and Joe Franklin gets his first start of the season on the back row with Jack Iles also returning there.
Just one change in the backline with Turner Jones starting at scrum half for the unavailable Tobias Trafford.
