We welcome Blackheath to Shaftesbury Park after our long trip and solitary bonus point gained from Sale.
As we look toward the bottom of the table, Esher, immediately below us, failed to generate any points in round 22, so we head into round 23 needing to improve or maintain that gap.
Our last 3 meetings with the South East London side have resulted in defeat, most recently away at Rectory Field where we returned empty handed 16-7.
Sitting sixth in the table, and one loss in their last five games, the Crusaders will need to be on top form.
Players to watch
Hooker Billy Harding is this seasons highest point scorer. Coming from Rosslyn Park, a hooker always scores with a strong pack and a solid set piece. Expect the defence to be tested.
Back, Jake lloyd, has an impressive points tally this season. Blackheath will run fast round the fringes
Fly half Tom Fitch's laser sights will punish any team from the tee.
Last time out, it was Rams who felt the wrath of Blackheath, as they took a narrow victory with Rams now 2 points ahead of our visitors in 5th place.
