GUERNSEY face a massive game against London Cornish in London Two South-West at Foote’s Lane this afternoon.
The Greens have the same record as the exiles having played eight, won five and lost three.
But the Sarnians are one place above them in the table in third thanks to a superior points difference.
‘Obviously this week is huge for us as we can take second spot or, on the flip side, be pushed down to fourth,’ said Guernsey player-coach Jordan Reynolds (pictured).
‘The league is really tight right now and we are comfortable with this, as we have all agreed that no game can be taken lightly and we all know we have to play 80 minutes week in and week out.’
Reynolds said that his team are at full strength for the match, apart from his fellow Australian Cameron Patten, who is unavailable.
Reynolds will fill Patten’s slot at full back while big Jim Elliott moves to centre and Barry Goude returns to the wing.
Something that both sides will have to contend with is the weather.
The island has been lashed by torrential rain all week.
‘We have prepared ourselves in training for whatever conditions may show itself on Saturday,’ said Reynolds.
‘In these wet games it really comes down to the whole 15 working together. I know the old school of rugby would say “it comes down to a 10-man game” but things have changed and when you have the weather against you, your number becomes obsolete and the objective for everyone is to keep it simple, tight and moving forward.’
