Rotherham Titans are prepared to take on high-flyers Rams Rugby this weekend when the Reading based side visits Clifton Lane for a 2pm kick-off on Saturday.
Rams, who were promoted from National Two South last season, have adapted to National One very nicely under Director of Rugby Seb Reynolds, as they sit fourth in the table having won 6 out of their first 9 games.
Rams are expected to bring a physical test and a strong set-piece, meaning the Titans will need to be ready to respond in like manner.
Going into the clash Rotherham have received some good news from the medical department as four keys players return to the starting XV, which includes seven changes in all from the team which drew at Hull Ionians last time out.
Along the backline; at outside centre Jamie Cooke returns from injury for Connor Field, who unfortunately picked up a knee injury at Hull. Ben Robbins returns on the wing for Jude Williams and Sam Hollingsworth is given the nod over Morgan Bunting at fly half.
In the pack; the three players returning from injury are Harry Newborn at hooker for Jack Bergmanas, Will Dennis at tight head prop for Harry Whitfield and Anthony Maka in the back row for Keifer Laxton; whilst the final change sees Dan Preston-Routledge come into the second row for Elliott Ward.
Titans: 15 Tom Bacon, 14 Dan Leake, 13 Jamie Cooke, 12 Tom Bullough, 11 Ben Robbins, 10 Sam Hollingsworth, 9 Connor Dever, 1 Toby Williams, 2 Harry Newborn, 3 Will Dennis, 4 Dan Preston-Routledge, 5 Kieran Frost, 6 Lewis Wilson, 7 Zak Poole (Capt.), 8 Anthony Maka.
Replacements: 16 Jack Bergmanas, 17 Harry Whitfield, 18 Elliott Ward, 19 Keifer Laxton, 20 Morgan Bunting.
