Match Preview

Having had two wins in a row, Sandbach will have been disappointed with the heavy defeat away at Newport and will be keen to put things right on Saturday, as they return to Bradwall Road. The visitors are Nuneaton, who lie just below Sandbach in the league and similarly have been a little inconsistent throughout this seasons campaign. The Nuns narrowly won the away fixture 16 v 14, when Sandbach outscored the home team by two tries to one. So Sandbach will be keen to ensure they keep the penalty count to a minimum this time. Traditionally the games between the two sides are always close and having done some work on eliminating errors in their defensive system, Sandbach will be quietly confident of reversing the loss. Particularly as they know they are capable of scoring tries of all kinds, as they did show last week, with their bonus point. Though both teams are in mid table and can be considered safe this season, each side will have their reasons to put in a performance. With the 6 nations being also on the 2 big screens and numerous TVs around the club house, expect an entertaining afternoon of rugby.
