Tactics:
Front 5 build to hold their own and win quick lineout ball,
Backrow looking for turnover ball and running options,
Experience and youthfulness at 9-10 brings a cool head and creativity,
Strong centres both looking to be influential-Naqa smashing and Evans with creativity,
Quick back 3 all looking to continue our fast paced game plan,
Looking for quick ball but, if conditions don't allow it the front 5 will play up the jumper before playing a tight game with backs off 10-12,
Strong defence looking to slow down or steal ball,
Good bench with experience, raw power and youthful energy,
We want to continue our recent form in this competition (unbeaten) and overall (3-0).
