SWINDON will be looking to extend their recent run of superb form when they travel to Windsor in Southern Counties North tomorrow.

Neil Loader’s outfit have won three of their last four matches, and could drag themselves into the top six with a victory against their fifth-placed hosts.

Coach Loader, pictured, is expecting a gruelling 80 minutes, however, and believes the key to victory lies in negating the power of the sizeable Windsor front row.

“If we get parity up fron then we will give ourselves a really good chance,” said Loader.

“We have to challenge and challenge hard and defend as we’ve defended in our last few games.

“Our focus is pretty important as well, but we know that we have what it takes to get the win.”

The Greenbridge Road side toppled their hosts 14-10 in the corresponding fixture earlier in the season, and the narrowness of that margin of victory emphasised to Loader how difficult tomorrow’s encounter will be.

“There’s no doubt that it will be hard for us,” he said.

“They have a good catch and drive and are big at the line-out, and their centres are strong runners as well.

“We know what the challenge is, we have to match it.”

Loader has a full selection of players from which to pick his starting 15 tomorrow, but will leave new signing Ben Saville on the bench.

“Ben has only been with us for three sessions and he needs time to learn the patterns and calls,” said Loader.

“That will mean, if he gets the first team shirt, he will be best prepared.”
