Head Coach Vili Ma’asi has named his team for the visit of Rosslyn Park to Dillingham Park tomorrow.
Park are currently 7th in The Raging Bull Shield Division on 50 points, but have three games in hand over the 1881s who are currently third on 61 points so tomorrow’s game should be another keenly contested affair!
Academy graduate Jody Devine starts at full-back this week after a strong showing against Rams last weekend. Another five current or former Academy players make up the bench. Tom Hudson captains an experienced side who will respect the challenge that Park present.
