SEDGLEY Park coach Tim Fourie, looking forward to Saturday's visit of fifth-placed Bristol, said: "It will certainly be interesting.

"They have a lot of youngsters in addition to seasoned professionals and an excellent coach in Richard Hill, but we are looking forward to it because they try to play rugby, which is what we do."

Away from the pitch Fourie is busy trying to tie up a couple of deals to bring in more players.

"We need a scrum-half on loan to cover for Chris Wilkinson in case he gets injured, because Dave McCormack will be out for at least another five weeks," he said.

"Wilky's been playing very well and whoever we bring in will have to start on the bench.

"As far as another second-row is concerned, we're prepared to wait for the right man.

"Both the Currie Cup competition in South Africa and the NPC in New Zealand will be finishing soon, and there should be quite a few good players becoming available."

Sedgley Park v Bristol Shoguns at Park Lane, Saturday, kick-off 3pm.
