Why Tamworth?

James Rowe explained that he wanted to play a team in a lower division so they could get some practice playing against a ‘low block’.

Rowe clearly expects the Blues to have a lot of possession today and wants to see how they cope in breaking down a team who will sit deep and soak up the pressure.

No stone left unturned!
