Green and Whites Head Coach, Neil Fowkes, is hoping his side will carry over the complete performance they showed against London Scottish last Friday when they face Yorkshire Carnegie on Sunday. 

Nottingham have never won away at Yorkshire in the Championship, despite coming close last season in a memorable match up between the two sides which saw the Green and Whites leave frustrated with a loss.

However, both teams head in to the game in similar form having won one and lost two of their opening matches. Nottingham sit just one point ahead in the table thanks to their bonus point win last week.

Speaking ahead of the game, Head Coach Neil Fowkes said: “I’m really looking forward to see how the lads can improve upon their performance from last week.

“We were excellent in the first half and defended with equal quality in the second but Yorkshire are a fantastic side who will provide a difficult test for us on Sunday.

“We’ve got to take each game as they come and try to build some momentum. The lads are raring to go so it’ll undoubtedly be another great game in The Championship.”

15. Sean Scanlon
