Wootton Bassett make the long journey south to face Dorchester in this weekend's Southern Counties South game.

The match promises to be a tough one, and coach Graham Stickler has made two changes from the squad that defeated Devizes two weeks ago.

In the pack, Frenchman Flo Vialan starts in the second row and veteran Gary Mander takes his turn on the bench.

Versatile front row man Taff Locke is also included on the bench after two run-outs for the third string.

Behind the scrum Lee Davies is selected on the wing.

Bassett's second team are also on the road, with a trip to face their Salisbury counterparts.

Captain Rob May has also made changes to his squad with new boy Ian Nicholas making his debut on the flank after some fine performances in the third team.

The thirds, meanwhile, are at home to Marlborough in Dorset & Wilts Division 2 North.

Manager Brian Smith welcomes back scrum-half Dave Scott in a team full of newcomers, and he is confident of a good performance.
