Former England rugby World Cup winner Neil Back comes to Shropshire tomorrow – and the man going head-to-head with him will relish the occasion.

Back, whose 66 caps for England including the 2003 World Cup final, is now coaching Rugby Lions in National Three Midlands.

Newport entertain the star-studded Lions – who include England A star Ben Gollings in their ranks – at Forton Road (3pm).

But Newport head coach Stephen Dolphin is going in confident mood.
