Wallingford will be without their regular seven, eight and nine combination when they visit High Wycombe in South West 1 East on Saturday.

Openside flanker Mike Chapman, No 8 and captain Ian Jeffreys and scrum half Derek Viljoen are all away, with centre Pete Holton taking over as skipper.

Dan White comes in for Chapman, Will Woodward moves to No 8 and Richard Turner fills in at scrum half.

Head coach Chris Norrington said: “High Wycombe are probably the best pack in the league, so it is going to be tough.

“But we’ve produced some of our best performances away from home and are not daunted by it.”

Lock and former captain Jez Hicks returns from injury on the bench as Witney host Slough in Southern Counties North.
