Division One survival for both Malvern and Bromsgrove hangs on victory at Finstall Park this Saturday.

Both teams need a win, plus a Luctonians victory over Walsall to ensure safety, and the war of words has begun.

Bromsgrove's retiring coach, Dave Stout, has already called Malvern "the worst team we have played this season", despite a comprehensive Malvern victory at Spring Lane.

The Malvern players know they have to go out and put in a performance even better than that at Luctonians to underline their right to stay in the league.

Director of rugby David Robins said: "We will do our talking on the pitch and our players can expect plenty of support from our travelling members."
