Although we got the 5 pointer last week, we were disappointed by our level of performance. We are expecting a big change in that regard this week. We know the Southern Knights will capitalize on any loose play with some really good rugby players when the game breaks up therefore execution will be key for us this week.
We freshen up thew squad with a few change as we enter the home straight of the Sprint. Dan King returns at fullback after recovering from shoulder surgery & Lewis Wells (Not Book Club) gets the nod on the wing ahead of Sam Pecqueur in an otherwise unchanged backline.
In the forwards, Josh Scott & Ruairidh Leishman (Kings Wark) return at LH Prop and No. 8 respectively. Duncan Hood comes in at Hooker and former Blues player Pat Spence gets his first start in the 2nd row. Finally, Wallace Nelson (A. & J. Nelson) comes in for the unavailable Sam Wallace.
Fergus Wood, Euan McAra (Sheena Holdings) and Cal Anderson (Millican Associates) return to the squad on the bench.
