Looking at the table it should be an easy Bristol victory but Doncaster's first win of the season last week might prove a confidence booster for the Yorkshire side. However, Bristol should prove too strong for them.

We just have to be more consistent and keep hold of the ball more – Luke Arscott

Bristol face a team who have been promoted more times than any other club in the game.

DONCASTER Knights were one of the early season favourites to be front-runners in the new Championship.

But a run of five straight defeats have dented their chances of making it into the Guinness Premiership.

However, last week's victory over Plymouth has given the Yorkshire side a much-needed confidence booster to take into tomorrow's game against Bristol.

Much of the reason behind Doncaster's poor start to the season has been a long list of injuries which has seen up to 12 first-team regulars missing for some period over the opening weeks of the season.

The situation was so bad last week that assistant coach and former Bristol player, Brett Davey, right, at 37 came out of retirement to play full-back because of a crisis at fly-half which saw Ali Warnock forced to move back for the injured James Brooks.

Other notable long term injuries for the Knights include flanker Neil Cochrane, club captain, Glen Kenworthy, number 8 Chris Planchant and full-back Anthony Carter all of whom would have been in the starting line-up.

But with a full squad to pick from Doncaster still consider themselves a force to be reckoned with and realistic title contenders. They may have been unhappy with the way that the new Championship was restructured at the start of the season but given their poor start they must be glad that they only need to make the top eight to go into the play-offs.

Last season they had an enviable home record in which they only lost one game against Exeter but did beat champions Leeds Carnegie which gave them crowing rights in Yorkshire for at least a few weeks.

There is certainly no shortage of confidence or financial backing off the pitch. The club recently opened a 1,500-seater new stand costing nearly £3 million and there are further plans to develop their Castle Park home further.

The Knights average crowds of 3,000 for home games but given the presence of rugby league and Doncaster Rovers football it is still a very healthy gate.
