Hartlepool will be buoyed by their recent run of results especially the away win at Rockcliffe last weekend. It is always an entertaining counter when both of these sides meet.

Pool's only changes to the squad from the game at Whitley Bay see's Adam Williamson come into the squad for Neil Stead following a man of the match performance for the 2s last week.

Scrum Half Chris Williamson also makes a welcome return to the side.
