Recent Form:
Irresistible – the best in the league!
Last Saturday’s 45-24 home triumph against Sedgley Park was a seventh win on the spin following successes versus Plymouth Albion (30-24), Birmingham Moseley (29-22), Bishop’s Stortford (40-28), Leicester Lions (21-19), Dings Crusaders (50-19) and Sale FC (52-33).
A crazy 54-42 setback at Esher is Rosslyn’s only reverse in their past 12 games, another four-match winning run preceding it against Darlington Mowden Park (49-24), Blackheath (26-25), Richmond (25-17) and Rams (27-26).
Park went down 28-0 at Sedgley in atrocious conditions having previously beaten Plymouth (33-29), lost to Moseley (27-26) and overcoming Stortford (18-15), Lions (48-24), Dings (61-24), Sale (34-15), Esher 44-26 and DMP (46-13).
Rosslyn would be well and truly in title contention if not for losing their opening three fixtures to Blackheath (32-24), Richmond (final-play drop-goal for 21-19) and Rotherham Titans (31-21).
Players to Watch:
Jasper Cameron – Hooker joined Park from Loughborough University ahead of last season, grabbing six tries in 20 appearances.
Has stepped up this term to head the charts with 14 in 19.
Ewan Fenley – Hat-trick hero in last week’s win against Sedgley Park, the former Henley scrum-half has crossed the whitewash 10 times this term.
Championship experience with Hartpury University, Bedford Blues and Ampthill.
Josh Bragman – Fly-half is fifth top point-scorer in National One with 165 to his name (five tries, 58 conversions, eight penalties).
Formerly with Darlington Mowden Park, Hartpury University and Ampthill, the stand-off was man-of-the-match in December’s clash.
