Depends on the weather, quite frankly.

A dry sunny day, record score 92-0
A wet day, 60-18

should be massive, but kicking will let us down. same stage last season we got a record score against workington. Amateur teams are better than student teams, more battle hardened, but these guys should have more aerobic stamina.

we'll see, interesting one.

Whilst not being as battle hardend as some most of the lads have played for the Nottingham Outlaws who were last season's RLC Premier Champions. From the previous 3 rounds they have shown they have a bit of an edge to them and will not just roll over but I think it may be a year or so too early to really put up resistance and mix it with the pros as a year in the National Conference with the Outlaws would see them a bit more street wise.

Been told this afternoon that a number of the Students Side have signed on at Other Teams (presuming they're conference sides) and are no longer eligible to play in the cup (strange I know but only what I was told) so they're bringing a Patched up side.

We're playing a "Full Strength side"

I think you are a few months out of date as before the Nottingham Outlaws tie a number of players had to choose who they wanted to represent in this years competition as they were eligable to play for either team. Most chose the University though one or two played for the Outlaws so there is a case it is not the very first choice side but I think you will find it will be the one that has got them 3 wins in the competition so far.
