Workington Town coach Dave Rotheram believes Saturday's opponents London Skolars possess a big threat in the shape of their foreign legion.

"They've been established for six or seven years now in this league," he told BBC Radio Cumbria.

"They're in the biggest city on earth that plays the game and the number of players they unearth is frightening.

"They've got a generous overseas quota and some very good Antipodean rugby players pop up at the Skolars."

The former Barrow coach also admits they have broken up their journey to allow players to stay fit and ready for the match.

"Somebody told me today it's a 320 mile journey," he said.

"We're going to train in Wigan on the way down, get there and play the game."
