Eye On The Opposition - Taunton Titans

Eye On The Opposition - Taunton Titans

Looking ahead to Saturday's opponents in National 1

THIS Saturday we welcome Taunton Titans to Kingsey Road in the latest round of National 1.

An important fixture for both sides, we are all set for another tough encounter in the third tier of English rugby.

Taunton are currently third from bottom in the table and a victory could take us - at best - 14 points clear of the Somerset side. However, an away victory and the gap is set - worst case - to be reduced to four, so it's all to play for this weekend.

We head into the match looking to make it three home wins in a row, while Titans will be bidding to win in Thame for the first time since November 2015.

While the form book reads one win from their last ten games, further reading will show narrow defeats for Taunton against Rams, Birmingham Moseley, Sale and only last week at Cinderford where they left Gloucestershire with two bonus points.

The player to watch is Ratu Vakalutukali, with the Royal Marine showing time and again why he is one of the most dangerous players in the league on his day. The powerful flanker has certainly caused us problems in the past, and we will hope to keep him quiet on Saturday.
