Nottinghamshire rfu security plus pennant

The 2's look to bounce back from only their 3rd defeat of the season which saw them drop from 1st to 2nd last weekend away at Dronfield.

With Experience and youth all over the park the 2's look as strong as every with promising colt 'James Jowett' and former first team captain 'Gary Sumpter' ready to partner up at '9' and '10' to get the 2's back on track. Captain Shaun Darnell slots back in at '8' with the every reliable player/coach Richie Burne dropping onto the flank.

Captain Shaun Darnell said "Its important this team bounce back at the first time of asking and show the character within the team. There isn't a bigger time to do this than playing Melbourne at this stage of the season. We know Melbourne sit third with two games in hand, so its a game we want to win in order to give ourselves the best opportunity of finishing top of the league at the end of the season"
