Banbury will be looking to the giant frame of Derwyn Jones to turn their season around in their Midlands 1 game at home to Hereford tomorrow (3pm), writes Michael Knox.
After missing the early part of the season, during which time Banbury have suffered two league defeats, the 6ft 10in former Welsh international lock finally makes his long-awaited debut.
He has been side-lined with a back injury since playing for the Barbarians against the German Rugby Union Federation in a pre-season match.
Jones, 29, who has 19 Welsh caps, could prove to be the spark needed to get Banbury back to winning ways.
Also looking to get back on the victory trail are Henley Hawks, who entertain Exeter Chiefs in a National League 1 contest, following their defeat by Otley last weekend.
The Hawks welcome back back-row man Steve Barnes, who missed the trip to Otley with flu. The squad also includes veteran lock Sean Fleming.
There is just one change among the backs, Tim Osman replacing his brother Russell.
Oxford Harlequins welcome back skipper Chris Price, who has been out for a month with a hand injury, for their Southern Counties North trip to Buckingham.
