One player certain to take a prominent role for Rugby is skipper Alex Nash, who posted a man of the match performance in the hard earned 17-14 success over Barking last Saturday and is sure to be probing The Lucs' miserly defence for openings.

However, there's no quarter being given by the Rugby pack who are delivering consistently, showing the quality and tenacity that's helped their team rise impressively up the table and an outside chance of getting into the promotion race.

Director of Rugby Mark Ellis has stressed that the Trophy does not figure at the top of the club's priority list so the possibility could be he fields some of the fringe players to give them pitch time. But Ellis is a winner and the one thing that their recent spate of victories has done is give the side added confidence.

So a weakened line-up and defeat to lower level opposition could have a negative effect on his players, who are beginning to show their steel and ability to win rugby games when not necessarily at their peak.

It's a tricky call but no side likes losing and Rugby will be out to prove that on home soil this weekend.
