Big Game Preview
Blues take a 24-point lead into Saturday’s second leg following a strong performance at Lady Bay, but know it’s still all to play for as Craig Hammond’s side look to overturn the deficit and secure a first victory at Goldington Road since 2016.
Fresh from scoring his 100th try for the club last time out, Dean Adamson will be looking to continue his purple patch and close in on 20 for the campaign having already dotted down on 18 occasions this term.
Saturday will be the 108th time the two sides have faced each other. Blues currently dominate the standings with 72 victories compared to Nottingham’s 32, while there have been three draws.
