Hoppers 2nd XV travel to Marl Pits on Saturday for their 3rd game of the season.

A few call ups, injuries and a few unavailability's means there has been a few changes to last week's team.

The team will look to build on an impressive start to the season against a Rossendale side that themselves got a big win last time out.

1st XV Assistant Coach Alan Haworth looking froward to the game said “It’s still early doors in the season and teams are still feeling each other out."

"We’ve made a few enforced changes this week with lads stepping up to the 1st XV and lads unavailable, but that’s 2nd XV rugby and with such a good training group I’m still really pleased with the side. This is always a difficult away day so it should be a cracker”
