Wheatley travel to deepest darkest Berkshire to play Hungerford,

Wheatley remain pretty consistent with selection despite seeing Jordan Hook and Joe and Caillin Taylor away at a Little MIx concert! and Alex Gabbidon taking part in a Fifa 18 marathon

Wheatley will be hoping to re-address the balance at Hungerford having only won 1 from 4 in a tight encounter back in September 2015 winning 15-14

Starting up front we see skipper Alex Acklam return at loose head after missing the season openers whilst party planning a hen do! ever present Pete Mitchel slots in at 2 with Ezra Rees the corner stone of the pack, Nick Bantons selection remains in doubt as he is struggling to recover from a judo injury picked up on Tuesday night ,Lawrence will be a traveling reserve just in case the old bones don't heal, MAtt Gibb is ready for action after consuming 5 King Edwards at Thursdays supperclub. The back row sees James "what me sir" Butler com in at 6 with Dan "Daisy Picker" fills in for Caillin at 7, James Neal retains the 8 shirt and will hope to build on the prolific 8-9 partnership with Jack Taylor,

Aaron Laman will be looking to ignite the backs creative flair, or just use the leagues biggest backs to knock the wall down both Sanda Mpanza and Joe Hobdell are fit and ready for action and if Knocking the wall doesn't work Josh Hillsdon and Dan Rule (hamstring permitting) will run around it! this leaves 2nd team matriarch Dave Thomas in the 15 berth looking to add a steady experienced hand to the rudder!

From the bench covering the backs and front row Tam and Fraser with Acko on hand to cover the 2nd row.
