Tough encounter awaits Buckingham

Buck make the trip down to Swindon knowing that they will be in for a bruising encounter. The last time this fixture took place was the first game of the 2011-12 season where Swindon won in a high scoring spectacular on a perfect day for running rugby.

This time around the weather will surely have an influence and both sides will be looking for their pack to provide a platform from which the back lines can attack.

In the Buckingham side, Lowbridge, Williams and Heycock form the front row again, with Matt payne returning to cover from the bench. Smith and Ockendon continue in the 2nd row and Amos leads Wright and Laird in a familiar back row.

In the back line, Clapham returns at 9 with White, Bernard and Hulston again the midfield with the wing berths taken once more by Sam Cook and Gillie. Temple and Mettenheimer the other subs.

The Buckingham side will need to be at their best for this battle and will need all the confidence from their last two victories to bolster them against a side with promotional expectations.

SHOULD BE A CRACKER!
