Driffield vs Wasps (away)

Driffield vs Wasps (away)

Mark Hodgkiss5 Jan - 10:45

No surprise this time !

After the unexpected late cancellation of the game in Kendal last season (and the First XV game on Saturday) a White start to the day meant it will not have been a difficult decision.


The Wasps make the long trip to Driffield

About this time last year Driffield made the trip in the opposite direction only for the game to be frozen off

Looks little chance of a similar problem this weekend - but could be VERY wet

At the start of the season Driffield got a narrow win with a late score at Mint Bridge, and currently sit in second place a point behind Blaydon Redkites, who have played a game less.

So a tough test but the Wasps showed against Liverpool St Helens before Christmas, they can defeat the best.

TEAMS

The normal Wasps musical chairs as players change positions and move between bench and starting team, but just one addition to the starting lineup with Tamar Benson returning at fullback

Lorne Mellonie is not involved so Fleur Stanton moves to outside half, whilst Allysia Hine take the space in the back row.

Megan Byers returns in the front row in place of Ellie Noar

Two additions to the bench, Laura Reid and Charlie Restall

The Driffield squad is similar to the one that played at Mint Bridge, just one change to the back division and four in the back.
