Saturday sees Nuneaton visit Bradwall Road and after a shaky start, the visitors have been on a decent run of recent. Sandbach and Nuneaton have fought out some close encounters over the past few seasons, and we expect nothing to change this weekend. Nuneaton have taken some big scalps in Luctonians and Newport over the past few weeks but did loose last week in the cup to Broadstreet, having decided to rest several players for the fixture. Sandbach have two or three key players back this weekend, so will be hoping this will be enough to turn around several narrow defeats of recent. Both teams like to play an open brand off rugby and with the weather forecast to be fine, it should be another cracking encounter.
