The Berkshire boys will be looking to bounce back from their defeat at Plymouth Albion in what promises to be a high-scoring encounter against the Midlanders.
The past five games between the sides have all proved entertaining affairs, Rams victorious 38-24 at Leicester back in November.
Prior to that the scores were 36-19 away and 54-29 in the Centenary Game in October 2024.
Rams gained revenge for a 26-24 reverse in the first fixture between the two sides with a 33-12 home success later in the 2023/24 campaign.
In total an average of 59 points per game have been scored between the teams, and with the weather set fair, plenty more are on the cards between two of the most free-flowing teams in the division.
Rams remain sixth in the table with four games to play, so help pack out OBR against the Midlanders with another lively encounter sure to follow!
