Hull make the 167 mile journey from Chanterlands Avenue in an optimistic mood, according to Director of rugby Gary Pearce!
He is quoted as being pleased with the performances of his Hull side who remain unbeaten themselves after two games and have shown themselves capable of scoring tries from anywhere on the field.In their first game they drew 22-22 against a favoured Huddersfield side and last week, at home, they scored five tries against Tynedale.
Scrum-half Rob Watts is unavailable as he has a slight concession but Harvey Harding should be available and he has a lot of experience of rugby in the national leagues including some man of the match awards last season.
Hull will have a strong squad to call upon his week and they will be looking to continue their unbeaten run. Line-out possession will be important and Hull have done well in this phase of the game so far his season.
Hull have attacking options that will put pressure on Stour's defence and Fly-half Simon Humberstone’s tactical awareness will be important factors in ensuring that best use is made of the ball. The visitors will be looking to come away with something from their second away trip of the season.
This should be a great test for Stour's squad with DoR Neil Mitchell and his main man Alec Davison both looking forward to the encounter.
