Strong but not strongest. The omission of Jess and Marsden is probably tactical, it certainly wouldn't be on form as both played very well against Cov. I assume that Budgen will start at 3 with Tui coming on as replacement since he is returning from injury. The choice at 9 will indicate whether we're planning to play it tight (Stuart-Smith) or more open (Haydn Thomas). There won't be any talk of taking Albion lightly with this side though. Roll on Saturday!!
