Second top Pirates will give us an idea of whether we have turned the corner when we visit their present home at the Mennaye Fields on Sunday (kick off 2.30).
Games between the two sides have been high scorring in recent years and if we continue our good form it could happen again.
There are enforced changes with Matt Worley on the wing as Dean Adamson has a hand injury. This week's front row will feature Henry Paul and Joe Wrafter partner Charlie Clare and Will Carrick Smith and Josh Buggea return.
Blues: 15 Pete Lydon, 14 Ryan Hutler, 13 Rich Lane, 12 Oskar Hirskyj-Douglas, 11 Matt Worley, 10 Will Hooley (Capt), 9 Grayson Hart, 1 Joe Wrafter, 2 Charlie Clare, 3 Henry Paul, 4 Oli Curry, 5 Will Carrick Smith, 6 Josh Buggea, 7 Joe Atkinson, 8 Dan Temm.
Reps: Jacob Fields, Sean McCarthy, Alex Penny, Ed Taylor, Huw Worthington, James Lennon, Sam Leeming, Pat Tapley

We need another solid performance, no pressure. I just hope our line-out functions.....
Anyway plenty of talent and pace in the backs to give any team a hard time.
Bring home the bonus 5pts..
COYB!!!
JW we are playing ‘survival rugby’ the five point games are fine but better the four point or even the two games are the target......our kickers are in fine form and on them we must rely.....
The lineout has been ‘iffy’ and remains so.........however team spirit is high and will take the game up a peg.........not an easy game for either team.......
After todays results its looking a bit ‘compact' at the bottom of the league even a two game (a draw) will move us up to tenth and four point will move us up to ninth.........no pressure guys
Though felt disappointed at end when listening to the radio commentary, will admit that's one point more than I thought we'd get! Couple of line-out losses at key moments the difference by the sound of things, but defer to those who were there.
Team seems to have found some of its mojo now, next week will be an interesting game, especially considering Jersey's tame-sounding loss at home to Pirates last week.
A point away against one of the top clubs in the league is not to be sniffed at......its a point further away from Leeds.....’survival rugby’ this year.......looking forward to next Saturday with the right team selection should be a game not to miss......
