Preview
Local rugby clubs are back in league action this Saturday with Peterborough RUFC expecting a stern challenge at Market Harborough.
Harborough have won five of their seven Regional 2 Midlands East games, whereas Borough have lost five of theirs, although they did beat bottom club Leicester Forest last time out.
Borough director of rugby Shane Manning said: “Harborough are always difficult to beat. We will need to match their physicality in order for us to play the way we want. It won’t be easy, but hopefully the lads will have some confidence to go and have a go at them."
