This Saturday, Bournemouth Rugby is gearing up for a trio of thrilling clashes as Lions, Nomads, and Wanderers hit the road for their respective battles. Kick-off for all matches is set for 2:30 PM, promising an afternoon of intense rugby action.
Lions Roar into the Big Smoke:
The Lions, showing promise in their ranks, embark on a journey to the Hurlingham Club in the heart of the Big Smoke to face Hammersmith & Fulham. Although we haven’t crossed paths with Hammersmith & Fulham for quite some time, the clash promises to be a closely contested affair.
Hammersmith & Fulham, with three victories from eight games, currently sit in 8th place with 18 points. The Lions, with two wins, are eager to level the playing field. The recent 41-0 loss against Bracknell exposed Hammersmith & Fulham’s passive start, a vulnerability the Lions will look to exploit.
In the Lions’ lineup, changes include Fitch moving to fly half and Harry Costello stepping in as fullback. In the pack, Jonathan Young returns, and Stan Vincent, the standout player from the Camberley game, retains his spot. The Lions are determined to target this game for a crucial win and progress up the table.
Nomads Face Portsmouth Challenge:
Under the guidance of Ian Moore, the Nomads hit the M27 to take on Portsmouth. Portsmouth, boasting four wins from six games, currently sits in 5th place with 20 points. The Nomads, having won only one from seven, are seeking redemption and aiming to disrupt Portsmouth’s winning streak.
With a consistent selection and key changes, including Jeffes returning as fly half and Connor Moore moving to scrum-half, the Nomads are ready for the challenge. Portsmouth’s recent victory against Havant poses a formidable obstacle, but the Nomads are geared up for a 2:30 PM kickoff.
Wanderers Eye Away Points Against Dorchester:
On the road to Dorchester, the Wanderers aim to secure much-needed away points in a 2:30 PM clash. Dorchester, with two wins from five games, presents an opportunity for the Wanderers to capitalize and climb the ranks.
In a league where fixture fulfillment can impact standings, the Wanderers are determined to showcase their capabilities. With a squad of 22 players, the Wanderers are ready for a hard-fought battle and look to make their mark on the scoreboard.
Don’t miss the action-packed Saturday as Bournemouth Rugby teams embark on these challenging encounters. Stay tuned for updates and brace yourself for an afternoon of rugby excitement!
