It has been a difficfult start to the season and it doesn't look like getting any easier with a trip to last season's play-off finalists - Doncaster Knights .
We did play well againt relegated Irish last week but that took its toll so there a number of changes.
Ollie Dodge, Jake Sharp and Jordan Burns all start in the backs while Mike Howard, Dave Spelman, and Justin Blanchet will be in the pack..
Blues: 15. Michael Le Bourgeois (c) 14. Pat Tapley 13. Tom Farrell 12. Ollie Dodge 11. Dean Adamson 10. Jake Sharp 9. Jordan Burns 1. Hayden Thompson-Stringer 2. George Edgson 3. Dave Spelman 4. Mike Howard 5. Will Carrick-Smith 6. Justin Blanchet 7. Ben Adams 8. Jason Hill
Changes: 16. Jacob Fields 17. Camilo Parilli-Ocampo 18. Billy Walker 19. Ed Taylor 20. Josh Buggea 21. Tom Whiteley 22. Myles Dorrian
Le Bourgeois's favourite position is fb so he'll be happy with that! And at last a starting slot for Ollie Dodge, which is good. If we match Donny upfront and don't give away silly penalties (his yellow last week possibly reason why Buggea is on bench) then I have every faith in us getting something out of the game, but I don't have us down to likely get more than one point.
The three home games in a row will be key to building momentum for the season. 3 wins with 2 BP tries should be the target, anything less than 2/3 wins is disastrous.
