The All Blacks head to Birmingham to tackle Moseley Oak fresh from a weekend off and sitting fourth in the table.

Head coach Rhys Pritchard has given his squad a 'pass' for their return of four wins from the opening block of six fixtures and will be keen to chalk up another victory this weekend.

"I am satisfied to a degree," said Pritchard. "If we had won at Lichfield when the game was there for the taking, I would be a lot happier.

"But I would say the first six weeks has been a pass grade. The attitude of the players has been pleasing and they know there is more to come.

"We needed a break after a six-week block of fixtures, but the next six-week block which will be tougher than the first one.”

"We start with Moseley Oak and they have that link with Moseley which can impact their selection, so we can't take anything for granted.

“We then have to face Newport and Stourbridge, who are the top two, Banbury, Oxford Harlequins and Broadstreet.”
