Banned duo return to strengthen the pack

IT HAS long been a rugby fixture circled in red ink as 'the big one'.

Guernsey visit Chichester tomorrow in a battle of first away to third in London One South and for much of the season it looked set to be a titanic clash of the top-two.

But even though Chichester slipped up away to Old Elthamians, who leapfrogged them in the table after their 32-14 win a fortnight ago, the match has hardly diminished in stature.

However, Guernsey player-coach Jordan Reynolds is determined to view this vital fixture as just one component of a far larger project.
