BECTIVE RANGERS make a number of shifts to the team that beat Wanderers 16-3 last weekend. Maurice Mortell comes into the left wing in place of Damien face Cunningham keeps a more confident DLSP in Kilternan.
Bective, who top Division Two and are strong candidates for promotion will meet an unchanged DLSP team.
"With five games remaining each match is a huge contest for the club," says their director of rugby, Ben Kealy.
DLSP unexpectedly gathered a share of the points last week from the fancied Sunday's Well when they drew 16-16 at Musgrave Park and will now face Bective with, more hope than they might otherwise have, had.
Dolphin, who are providing most of the pressure on the leaders, hope to continue on from their 12-16 win over North last week. Although the Cork side have not yet finalised their selection for the weekend, they do have some injury worries.
Winger Brendan Kearn and international Terry Kingston both have muscle injuries but are hopeful of playing, while wing forward Tim O Connell will probably miss the game due to work commitments and exams. Prop Phillip Scott, who was out last, week, is likely to return to the side, as Eddie Knowles is finished for the season with a broken leg.
Greystones host NIFC with one change in the pack and four changes in the back line. Alan Dignam holds on to his, place at the back of the pack, having come on for Dave Barrett last week. Wayne Robertson moves from centre to out-half as Mark Evans is unavailable, while Eoin O'Brien makes his AIL debut in the centre to cover Robertson's, Wove. Ivan Power replaces the injured Mark Dwyer at full back and Alan Keyes comes in for the injured Barry McAree on the wing.
Clontarf must wait until Thursday to see if they have the service of Colm Power in the second row. The north Dublin club are only two points behind Bective and one adrift of Dolphin as they face Monkstown at home on Saturday.
Colm Hayes comes into the Monkstown side for John, Gannon, who injured a hamstring, last week, in an otherwise unchanged line-up.
Wanderers look to Mark O'Driscoll to fill the backrow position vacated by Jonathan Garth when they play UCC in Dublin. The students are likely to be without two of their second rows for the game as Michael O Driscoll and John Fitzgerald both sustained injuries last week.
Division Three leaders Galwegians have not yet selected; nor have Buccaneers, who are currently in second position.
But UCD are forced to make a number of changes. Ryan O'Donnell comes in for the injured Robby McNicholas in the centre, and captain Denis Finn is out for a long spell.
