Fun Bus Fun Bus Fun Bus!

First bus trip of 2018 becomes a few familiar faces back to the action,

Front row remains the same as our last outing with the Alex Gabbidons continuing his apprenticeship at hooker assisted by skipper Alex Acklam and Ezra Rees,

Matt Gibb and Jack Atkinson provide the grunt in the engine room, Small change in the back row with Jack Smith unavailable due to a gash above the eye Caillin Taylor gets a reprieve and gets the nod at 7, Spencer Bailey will hope to smash 20 tackles this week from 6 with James Neal completing the 8

Jack Taylor retains the 9 shirt despite a great shift from Gav Belcher against Milton Keynes, like Dennis Berkamp Gavs inability to travel cost him the shirt! Aaron Laman continues to plug the hole at 10 & will look to add a little magic to proceedings, Toby Butler and Joe Hobdell continue in the centre with Dan Rule and the returning Joe Taylor on the wings, Jordan will be looking to settle old scores against Slough as they roughed him up a bit last time out!

Should be a real humdinger with a cup final awaiting and plenty of competition for places,

The bench is made with a trio of vets Tam Pete Mitchell and Sanda Mpanza all with a point to prove on about 60 minutes!
