Stortford this week make their first visit to Loughborough Students to play a young, fit and well-drilled team, desperate to register the league points they need to avoid relegation - and, in the process, potentially force OAs down.

We can expect a real battle against highly-motivated players, doubtless looking to play an expansive game on their 4G pitch. Our boys will doubtless be buoyed by week's try-fest against Fylde, but will need to work hard for 80 minutes in their quest for another win in pursuit of their goal of a top-six finish. Dan Leo is due to return, with James Apperley moving up to the second row and Oli Jones on the bench.
