Game 16 brings Wimborne to The Lane for an early kick off as a curtain raiser to the 1st XV game. Dolphins will be looking to reverse their 34-10 defeat from the away game. To do so they will have to front up the very physical game the men in black bring. The team welcomes new young players Henrie Thorne (Prop) and Seb Burgess (Lock) to the side. A very experienced front row of Armandus Morgan, Cam Boa and Will Maxwell will look to give the Dolphins back line of Dillon Worsley, Liam Charlson, George Pooley will look to let lose wingers James Wise and Chris Buckett and captain Rory Penfold from fullback. Set piece possession will be critical and Will Butterwick in the 2nd row with Seb has a job to do. The backrow of Fin Daly, Mike Bakare and Will Double will have to tackle hard, stay patient and exploit every opportunity they get to gain possession and make ground. The bench of Henrie, Rich Neil and Dylan Baptiste will need to make an impact as finishers.
Let's hope that the preparations of this week can bring a fast start and true Dolphins performance to set a good marker for the rest of the season ahead.
Let's go Hav!
