After a nip and tuck encounter at The RAG back in December, which was only settled in the 79th minute, both sides will look to put on another entertaining battle basking in the Bedfordshire sunshine.
This contest starts the final sprint finish to the conclusion of the season, with games every weekend in May to wrap things up.
For the clash, an 88th meeting between the pair, Rayer makes three changes which sees a full front row switch as rotation of those jerseys again remains a theme.
After the safe and healthy arrival of his daughter earlier this week, Dean Adamson will take his familiar position on the left wing, needing just one try on home soil to eclipse Derek Wyatt and head out in front as Blues’ greatest ever try scorer.
On the bench, Joel Matavesi makes a welcome return from an ankle injury, but Rayer still has to contend with a few absentees again this weekend.
