WESTCLIFF head to third-placed Tring in the London & SE Premier Division this afternoon missing a number of key players.

Influential forwards Ewan Binneman, Jack Hopkins, George Maloney and James Scogings are all unavailable, while captain Harry Branch is injured.

And that means Westcliff’s director of rugby Rick Compton will be forced to make changes.

“We will be calling up lads from the extended first and second team squads,” said Compton.

“It’s a game which has been rearranged due to the recent bad weather and that’s why we have a few regulars unavailable.

“It’s obviously going to be a test, but we head there in fine fettle and high spirits.”

Westcliff saw off Towcestrians 68-10 last weekend and remain fifth in the standings.

However, Tring sit third in the table and will be tough opponents this weekend having been beaten just three times in 21 outings this term.
