Recent form:

The Midlanders have made a bright start with a squad shorn by the retirements of inspirational previous captain Ollie Stedman and flying winger Aquile Smith.

A transitional off-season also saw hooker Sam McNulty, a regular try-scorer against Rams, drop a level to Hinckley.

But Mose burst into life with an opening day 38-33 triumph against Cambridge, a strong Sale side then taking the spoils 66-35 at Heywood Road.

Birmingham took down Dings Crusaders 35-31 a fortnight ago before a 47-5 setback at Bishop’s Stortford last time out.
