I think we’ll be rotating a few to give some of our other players a game. I know we won’t take Hartpury lightly, but we can’t go full strength week after week, it’s a very long season. COYB

I would start George Worth and Kyde Silvestre for sure.
However, we don’t want to break the recently re-established player connections that appeared to work better in the last two games. Rotation is probably a constant in the modern game, so we have to make it work. An interesting challenge.

Dan Eckersley should be fit so I expect/hope he’ll start.

In my humble opinion we have to put aside this year's form for both club's and veiw the game as last years second team versus last years sixth team.

Hartpury are a difficult club to play you never quite know who's going to turn up, however remember Hartpury played very well against Worcester last time out........it ain't going to be that easy.

But in Rayer and his team we trust, no bonus point game.... but in my book its a home win.

I suspect he will for a long awaited league debut. COYB

Unavailable for selection this week:

Jamie Jack, Monty Royston, Alex Woolford

Good to see Evkersley playing at last and I’m really keen to see how Dufficy goes as the starting 10.

Strong team, excited to see how Dufficy does at 10, although I’m hoping common sense prevails and we let Booj have goal kicking duties. Really think Eckersley can have a big impact this year, hopefully he gets a couple of trademark turnovers. Having Craig Wright is a big bonus.

Its best to ignore parts of the first half.....then the second half uphill the Blues turned up the gas, Mr Rayer had spoken... ..we are lucky to have such talented players here at Goldington Road, not just the ones who score the tries its the ones who make the tackles who play in defence week after week and rarely get on the score sheet....talent come s in all forms...
