GAME DAY!

The Purple men make the trip down the M40 to Farnham to take on Drifters in this weeks Wadworth BBO Prem clash.

Wheatley make a couple of enforced changes this week after losing several players to injury. Dan Rule (hamstring) Dan Bland (finger) and Hugo Stanford Tuck (Old)

Injuries brings opportunity with Aaron Laman moving to 9 a reshuffle in the back line sees Tom Heydon making a start at 12 with Toby Butler shifting to 10, and Chris Turner making his first team debut on the wing inlace of the injured Rule.

Joe Taylor continues at Left Wing with Decembers player of the month retaining the 15 jersey ever present outside centre Sanda Mpanza continues to defy the ageing process at outside centre this back line has more than enough in the tank to cause any defensive line problems and with Tom Heydon lining up alongside Sanda it echoes the size and physicality of any that have gone before us.

One slight change in the pack sees Dan Bland unable to overcome a finger injury, Michale Ridge makes his first start since September and top Scorer Jack Smith move to open side inlace of the injured Bland. the front row remains unchanged this week with Alex Gabbidon demonstration great flexibility switching to Loose head with Pete Mitchell and Ezra Rees continuing to add ball carrying options as well as the dark arts in the front row, Sean Brook will pack down in the engine room with the moose with Spencer Bailey and James Neal completing the very mobile effective pack.

This weeks bench, Tamworth continues to provide forward cover with Luke Ball covering the back line.
