Taunton head coach Lee Waddon says he is relishing the chance to renew his side's rivalry with Jersey.

Jersey denied Taunton a place in the National Three final last season, beating them 65-14 in the semi-final.

Waddon told BBC Jersey: "Last season we were low with injuries and we knew that Twickenham was a distant dream.

"They've now lost a few players, but have brought in some good ones. We also have some new faces so it will be a good test to see how far we've come."

Having been promoted from National Three last season, both sides are prospering in National Two South, with Jersey currently in second, while Taunton are fifth.

Waddon added: "The visit of Jersey has whipped up a great deal of interest here, we could see over 1,000 fans at the game."
