Notes:
Quotes from Director of Rugby, Gary Gold.

“We had work to do after our performance against the Jaguares, but we are happy with the character shown to dig deep and find a way to win in tough conditions, at what was an unfamiliar venue for the majority of our players.

“Every week you need to be at your best in this competition and our match against the Kings is no exception. They have been working hard and improving each week and they will be ready for the fight this weekend.

“We as a group are very determined to improve each week and it is critically important for us to continue doing so.”

Injury Update – Jean Deysel
