If you come along to the Garenne Stand the RBS Six Nations Trophy will be there in all its silvery glory and, out on the pitch, we can all hope for a glitzy performance. The odds on that happening are looking good.
Amersham & Chiltern lie bottom of the table and Raiders can welcome back a string of backs, including an old-face on the wing. Yes, Shane Taylor is back and he goes straight into the starting XV, while there is a welcome return for Luke Sayer.
The speedy Taylor has had a lengthy spell away from the game following various injury problems, while Sayer has not played since injuring his shoulder in first half of the Hertford match a month ago.
All this has the culminating effect of allowing the coach to field one of last week’s wing duo - Dale Martin, who even scored a try, back in his favoured position of the back row.
It means Dan Hill will start on a strong bench along with Cameron Craine and Adam Nixon while Jason Batiste returns at centre to partner Luke Jones in midfield.
Tomorrow’s game kicks off at 2.30pm.
Team:
Steventon, Ceillam, Batiste, Hillier (capt), Merrien, Martin, Mercadal, M. Thomas; Barnes, Davies, J. Batiste, Jones, Taylor, Sayer, Hellier.
Subs:
Craine, Nixon, Hill.
