They will be looking for another big performance after coming out on top in a close, exciting and bruising contest.

Canterbury players to look out for include openside flanker Sam Rogers who was relentless at the breakdown against Redruth and earned the man of the match award. Prop Jim Green will be hoping for a dominant scrum again as he comes up against a strong and combative Chinnor front row. Out wide Canterbury are dangerous when given a chance with winger Martyn Beaumont in good form.
