WOOTTON Bassett, currently lying in fourth place in the Southern Counties South table, will be looking to leapfrog over third-placed Devizes in this eagerly awaited Wiltshire derby clash at Stoneover Lane.
Bassett are on the crest of a wave at the moment after three impressive league victories and will be hoping to make it four in a row against a side they did the double over last season.
Those two victories by 19-10 and 19-7 were hard-fought encounters and Bassett can expect another testing time in this match.
Bassett's only change sees veteran prop Mark Roshier recalled, replacing the unavailable David Mason.
Two interesting figures on the bench likely to play some part in the game are new Australian exchange signing Matthew Hill and Simon Cady who has returned to Bassett after a spell at South West Counties side Chippenham.
