Following their first points of the season with a six try win over Basingstoke last weekend, the 1XV welcome Trojans to The Island on Saturday afternoon in what will be a certain epic spectacle against a side that recorded the double over Vandals last term.

In the backline, Dan Wellden and Harry Weatherall retain their partnership which blossomed last week with the later helping himself to two tries and Harry Reed replaces the injured George Bolster. There are returns for flyer Fred Dodd and Dave Loubser also.

James O'Neill unfortunately picked up a shoulder injury against Basingstoke and will be out for some time joining a lengthy injury list, so George Heminway's timely return sees him start in the row with captain Adam Bullett. A 'DIY' accident at home rules out Marc Riddell with Luke Higley making his first start of the season at tighthead and James Loubser named on the bench to join Anthony Tyrrell and Greg lynch who'll be hoping to make his first league appearance of the season.

Kick off is at 3:00pm on Saturday.
