Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the long awaited match between two of the top teams in Seasonal Rugby. Today, the Seasonal Rugby reporting crew travels to The Hot Gates in Sparta. This is bound to be a closely fought match. We go pitchside with our reporter who will update us on all the action. The Spartans come out today with a very stong lineup. This could possibly be the strongest Spartan lineup we have ever seen. The changes see Wilkinson come in for Ritchie and Ames come in for Tait. L Tyson also comes in for RS Hutchinson and will start on the wing for the Spartans. The Vikings see only a few changes, with WC Welker coming in for Armstrong to bolster the backrow. DRP Taylor comes in for BC Jacobs and will slot in at wing with AJ James moving to full back. The battle today is definately in a few areas. Ames vs Vago will be a huge area, and could make a big difference. As could the two back rows, with Manera vs Deane playing an especially large part. And now we go to the teams: Spartans 1.
