Ian Pinchen will definitely be missing after limping off in the closing stages of the defeat at Wheatley Hills last week.  He'll be replaced by Ross Wood and there's also a return to the pack for Owen Bennett and Michael Hogan.

Andy Robson did an excellent job in the second row last week, however he is needed by the Stags who take on Tynedale at Brinkburn.

Andy Turner also had a great game in his first start for the senior side and has scored excellent tries in both his outings so far. He is in the 19 man squad and will almost certainly start if Sam Miller hasn't recovered from the calf injury he suffered playing for the County.

In the backs Liam Bailey has work commitments with Peter Youll moving to his preferred role in the centre.

So far we've lost competitive away games agaisnt three sides who are up at the top of the table -  if we are to go on to have a successful season we can't afford many more away defeats and certainly not against sides in the bottom half.

Sheffield find themselves at the bottom of the table despite being one of the fancied sides in pre-season. They have not been helped by their shared use of the top class Abbeydale cricket pitch which has meant that only three of their first nine games have been at home.

Their one victory so far was over Alnwick and last week they went down 23-12 at Boro.
