Match Preview

Important game this for Sandbach, who will be looking to return to winning ways following their narrow defeat away at Derby last weekend. Saturday sees the return of Lichfield who like Sandbach are renowned for playing an open and expansive style of rugby, so an entertaining match is envisaged. In the league game at the end of the last season 93 points were scored in total, with Sandbach just shading it 51 v 42. Sandbach know that they will need to tighten up their defence based on the previous encounter and not give penalties away, as last time out Lichfield deadly fly half Luke Massey had a 100% kicking record on the day.
