We will have to do it without two of the leading characters in the 11 try to nil drubbing of Rovers on Boxing Day.
Mikey Young celebrates his 18th Birthday on New Year's Eve by playing for England Under 19 against Italy at London Irish on Friday night - a fair excuse for missing a league match. However, Anth Carr is only away ski-iing but says he would have gone in the summer but there might not have been any snow.
That means Davy Tighe returns at scrum half, with 17 year old Gav Painter at fly half. Brett Cullinane returns in place of Anth with Carlo Robinson starting in place of the ever improving Nogger Norris.
Tom Dixon maintains the youthful look of the side partnering Paul Rudd in the second row. "Garse" undoubtedly had his best game of the season on Boxing Day and the coaches will be hoping for more of the same.
The same goes for the back row which is in outstanding form. If we had an American style vote for Most Valuable Player so far this season the chances are that Jonny Boatman would be out in front with brother Dan not far behind. Aaron Myers completes the trio and it is our gain and England Under 19s loss that he is not away working his magic with Mikey.
Peter Hodsgon is still injured, but fortunately we now have competition for places in the centre with Neil Howe showing some strong running in the last couple of games. Greg Edwards has also started to blossom with ball in hand - though he is baffled as to why so many people are asking how come he has suddenly got a turn of pace.
Sheffield show a number of changes from the side which we beat back in November. They have lost a number of players to rival Tigers this season and have actually seen 22 first team players disappear for various reasons over the past two seasons.
