After last Saturday's disappointing cancellation we welcome Taunton to the Brickfields.

Now at the halfway point in the season, Albion will be looking to make their way back up the table after Darlington and Moseley leapfrogged them last weekend.

The Titans have endured a difficult season so far having won only 3 games, all against the teams below them which at least puts them above the three relegation spots.

Statistically, Albion are, unsurprisingly, well ahead of Taunton scoring about a third more tries per game whilst conceding a third less. That is not to say that Taunton don't have their strong points, wirh their main threat coming from their flanker, Charlie Wright, who has found his feet at Taunton. However their main weakness is within the front row and out on the wings. In the reverse fixture at the start of the season Albion triumphed with a 33-26 scoreline.

The defining period of the the game may come in the 20 minutes before half time, this is both Albion's and Taunton's most prolific period, but in Taunton's case, also the most vulnerable.

Referee for the day is Max Weston, who has officiated at two Nat 1 games this season usually handles games at Level 4. He has issued an average of 1.5 cards per game and reached for the red one on one occasion.

Weather - Overcast with sunny intervals. Temperature will be a little chilly with a slight breeze, but much warmer than the past week.

Forecast - A comfortably win.

Elsewhere in the league - Rams v Chinnor - last week saw the leaders suffer their second consecutive loss to open up the title race. Whilst a good chance for Rams to get back on track, Chinnor could cause an upset.

Round 14 - Albion vs Taunton

Hopefully the match goes ahead - and that Santa gives Albion an early Christmas present.
