Moseley's Defence to be Put to the Test For immediate release Thursday 2nd February 2012 Issued on behalf of Moseley Rugby
RFU Championship: Bristol v Moseley Friday 3rd February, 7.45pm kick off at The Memorial Ground, Bristol
After a nail-biting win in the rain at home against Plymouth Albion, Moseley travel to Bristol to take on the Championship pace-setters. The selection is similar to that which gained a narrow but deserved victory last week.
Moseley have already faced Bristol twice this year, at home in the League and away in the British & Irish Cup, and were successful in both matches. The Birmingham side are therefore expecting a big response from the home team who will be flat out to avoid a third defeat. Coach Kevin Maggs, himself a former Bristol player, said “Bristol are a good side who sit justifiably at the top of the League. They will desperately want the win and our defence will need to be as good as last week if we are to get anything from the match.”
