Clifton will be striving for a top 8 finish while promotion chasing Chinnor will look no further than Saturday's contest.

This Saturday sees the return of National League rugby after a break for the final round of the Six Nations. Chinnor are back on the road to 9th placed Clifton.

A fortnight ago Clifton traveled to Redruth and lost 26-7 while Chinnor beat Canterbury at home 47-19. Going into the final 5 games every match is vital now and there is little room for error. Clifton will be striving for a top 8 finish while promotion chasing Chinnor will look no further than Saturday's contest. Each game now carries a lot of intensity and both teams will be itching to get back into the fray after a week of rest.

The last time these sides met Chinnor came out 58-17 victors. Clifton will certainly be hoping for a different result at home this time around.

Chinnor have a made a few changes from the Canterbury game. Nathan Hannay returns to the side in the second row, Connor Adams comes in for his debut at 9, Junior Fatalifoa comes in at 12 with Henry Lamont coming into 13. Luke Hibberd starts on the left wing with Charlie Broughton on the right wing.
