In our last home game we faced a Driffield side who were unbeaten in five games and Pock arrive in exactly the same position.
Their victories include a narrow two point victory in their local derby at Driff last week. They were well clear only to allow the hosts two injury time tries, which also bagged our fellow strugglers two bonus points.
We could have had our own losing bonus point last weekagainst a lively Alnwick, however a much debated last second penalty try denied us after we had once again fought our way back into a game to draw level.
Eldon Myers scored his second try for the first team last week, unfortunately he's needed by the Royal Navy this weekend so Scott Butcher reverts to centre with Kyle Jamieson returning on the wing.
In the pack Ian Pinchen and Liam Bailey both return, and Chris Atkins is back in the second row after serving his ban for the altercation at the end of the Driffield game.
Pock will have their own abscences notably in No 8 and skipper Jack Holborough and scrum half Matt White. They will arrive keen to avenge the 15-5 defeat we inflicted on them at Feathers Field back in November. That's the game where Jonny Boatman came out of retirement to help out an injury crisis by playing in the centre.
