South have close links with Premiership side Leicester Tigers and have been known to “borrow” some players to create a huge and powerful pack, which could put Tynedale‘s fragile eight under some pressure.
South Leicester come to Corbridge for the 2pm kick off seeking their third win in a row, after beating Broadstreet 22-16 and Stourbridge 27-26.
However, they do have an Achilles heel in the form of a leaky defence, which has seen them leak 266 points - the same number as Tynedale.
And they were defeated 24-17 by Huddersfield, and drew 29-29 at Preston Grasshoppers, both of provided Tynedale with their only wins of the season.
