DELIGHTED Nuneaton director of rugby Mike Umaga will have a fully fit squad at his disposal for the visit of Hull Ionians this Saturday - but he admits he will now have a number selection headaches to ponder over the next 24 hours. The head coach revealed he will be able to call upon the services of flanker Matt Aston and winger Micky Moore from injury for the Liberty Way clash to help spice
up selection for tomorrow's game.
Umaga said: "We will have a fully fit squad to pick from for the Hull game thanks to the return of Matt and Micky.
"It's always nice to have this sort of problem especially at this time of year when it is quite common to have a number of players missing.
"I will definitely have some selection headaches but they are the sort of decisions I prefer to have to make."
The Nuns will go into the game high on confidence following last weekend's comprehensive 44-10 win at Darlington Mowden Park.
The triumph was a welcome return to winning ways for Umaga following his side's defeat at home to Caldy the week before.
The visit of a Hull side, who are still to win on their travels, will to many look like a home banker but Umaga does not look at it that way.
He said: "We are in a good position at the moment after a tough month of fixtures and it's now a case of keeping up the momentum before we re-assess our position for the second half of the season.
"We are all now fully focused on the home game against Hull Ionians.
"As with all the games in this league we will we prepare properly and concentrate on what we have to do because if you don't you will come unstuck."
