Miller comes in on the wing for Dan Abrahams while Carl Robinson is back in the front row in place of club skipper Tim Sawyer - he is at No 2 for England Deaf against Wales. Carlo would have missed last week's starting line up because of work commitments.

Chris Cook the 6ft 2in Army lock - son of Billy - will be on the bench on his return to the club.

Chocky is in the back row, alongside Tones and Bennett, which means that Carl Miller and Paul Rudd are in the second row.

Hull have enough quality in their pack to leave Rod Latham on the bench. They have a big mature set of forwards who eventually got on top of our lads in the first fixture way back in balmy September. We did have them on the rack at the end of the first half, and many refs would have awarded a penalty try for our pressure.

Our side has improved considerably since then but Hull have obviously not gone backwards. They have not lost a single game and have a massive margin over second place Middlesbrough. They also have some experienced backs particularly in skipper Maea David at centre. His tackle on Allan Milne, which led to young Paul Moss having a baptism of fire, was one of the turning points of the game at Hull.

The Stags are itching for a game and our pals at Rovers have kindly agreed to send the Heughers over so, together with the England v Ireland game at 4.00, it promises to be a great day of rugby.
