Doncaster head off across the Pennines with real hopes of a fifth successive league win against their old Roses rivals who lie one place off the bottom of the table. With Otley facing a tough ask at Rotherham, a Doncaster win would lift them another place above them up the table to ninth and within sights of the three clubs above that. A mid table finish is the goal and would be an excellent outcome to a first season at this level.

The starting line up is the one that won last time out at Newbury, which means that the injured John Cannon and Ngalu Tau remain in recovery from concussion suffered in the Rotherham win three weeks ago. Brad Hunt and Richard List continue to deputise. All eyes will be on Rob Liley as he approaches the 1000 league point mark for the club. Liley is retiring at the end of the season so has three matches to get the 16 points needed to hit the magic number. Perhaps the following weekend in his last home game, against Nottingham, would be the dream scenario!

Doncaster: J Boden, Van Vuuren, Hunt, Wood, Cook, Liley, Lane, Bunting, S Boden, List, Kenworthy, Norris, Earnshaw, Grainger, Montagu.

Bench: Davies, Roddam, Barretto, Rule, Peacey, Benson, Harrison

Referee: B Robertson (RFU)
