Titans all set for Blackheath test

Rotherham Titans are geared up and primed for a physical encounter when they travel to the capital to take on Blackheath this Saturday; kick-off at Well Hall is 3pm.

Titans, who are without a win in five games, are under no illusions as to the challenge awaiting them from a side which sit in fourth spot, just 5 points off the top of the table.

Whereas Blackheath are in fine form having won five of their last six outings, which includes impressive home wins over Rams and Bishops Stortford and important away wins over Plymouth Albion, Cambridge and Birmingham Moseley.

Going into the game Rotherham have made just one change to the starting XV which lost 30-7 against Cinderford last week at Clifton Lane, as Elliott Ward comes into the second row for Dan Preston-Routledge.

Included on the bench are Ben Waddington, who has returned from his loan spell at Sheffield Tigers and prop forward James Armitage who has been brought to help out with the Titans front row injury crisis.

Titans: 15 Sam Hollingsworth, 14 Dan Leake, 13 Jamie Cooke, 12 Tom Bullough, 11 Ben Robbins, 10 Morgan Bunting, 9 Connor Dever, 1 Toby Williams, 2 Jack Bergmanas, 3 Will Dennis, 4 Elliott Ward, 5 Will Hughes, 6 Lewis Wilson, 7 Keifer Laxton, 8 Zak Poole (Capt.).

Replacements: 16 Agustin Defelitto, 17 James Armitage, 18 Alfie North, 19 Ben Waddington, 20 Tom Bacon.
