Neil Dallimore and Phil Carleton look set to return to action as South Wales Scorpions hunt a second win of the season. But Scorpions coach Mike Grady is without Chris Vitalini, who is away on international duty with Italy. Grady said: “I’m looking forward to this weekend. Ashley Bateman will make his 100th career appearance if selected for the Scorpions.

Tony Benson Oxford coach, must cope without JJ Baird (personal commitments) while Alex Thompson (hamstring), Valu Bentley (knee) and Sean Morris (leg) are all doubtful.

Benson said: “We’re sitting just above them in the table and we’ve got a tough game on here. South Wales are obviously a team that can jump up and get anyone on their day.”

Ugh, might have to re-visit my prediction at 2.50 if fitness tests go badly. JJ did superbly last week, Sean has that x factor, Valu and Alex provide crucial nouse. Chris Vitalini is a huge loss for them though.
