SPORT – Argentine "Facundo" Tangoes into the Back Row

Weymouth and Portland’s Argentine “Facundo” returns after a two week absence and quickly steps straight into the back row on Saturday.

The team: 1, Tim Comben, 2, Billy Hayne, 3, Ben Davis, 4, Will Eckersley, 5, Dave Oaksford captain,6, Chris Norton, 7, Facundo, 8, Dan Bowditch, 9, Josh Cameron, 10, Rory Legg, 11, Todd Purcell, 12,Ryan Lewendon , 13, Matt Savage,14 Luke Beynon, 15, Jacob Cummimgs, 16, Khyo Farley, 17, Will Quick 18, Jason Hoskins.

The Seasiders take the road to Wiltshire on Saturday to lock horns with Salisbury Extra 1st xv in a Tribute Dorset & Wilts Division one clash and should return with a, “Comfortable” win in the bank, that is according to head coach Rich Bayment.

He added, “After our derby win against Puddletown a fortnight ago the lads were happy to have a week off to recover and allow their broken bodies time to heal, that is how intense some of the exchanges were, it was nothing more than a battle of attrition and we needed time to lick our wounds, however all of the players said that they enjoyed the contest and we look forwards to playing them again at Monmouth Avenue later in the season”.

“Saying that 2 of our lads are both out with injuries and are seeing specialists this week, scrum half Craig Barter and flanker Dan Hayne, so in come Josh Cameron and Facundo, both are straight swaps”.

Rory Legg returns to outside half with Ryan Lewendon moving back into the centre.
