Ngalu Tau

More of the same" will be the requirement for Knights Director of Rugby Lynn Howells as his Doncaster side contest a lunchtime kick off at Old Deer Park.

A 20 point to 9 victory to the Knights was the result the last time the South Yorkshire side journeyed to the capital ground, and more of the same would delight fans of the Doncaster Knights.

"Sometimes the team that beats Doncaster Knights can be Doncaster Knights" Lynn Howells said in interview. His comments previously of the "Jeckyl and Hyde" nature of his side have gone a long way to explaining how a side can turn around a losing streak of 6 at home into 8 wins in 27 days and qualification for the British and Irish Cup.

Howells will hope his Knights side are in the mood to dish out a dose of capital punishment, and kick off the promotion playoffs with a win in London, and carry that form through to next Saturday's home game against London Welsh.

"The key to this kind of competition, with promotion to the Guinness Premiership at stake is to win your home games and try to steal the points away." Howells told us. Howells will be hoping the Knights raid on Kew gardens will leave them smelling of roses.

With Tom Davies, Nicky Griffiths and Chris Briers a week away from fitness and starting Centre Hudson Tonga'Uiha out for potentially longer young Scot Stevie McColl returns to his old position in the centre allowing the experienced Carter at Full Back.

More experience is added by the ever ready to challenge Ngalu Tau, to a youthful side that will prove a handful with its mobility and pace.
