Match Preview: Titans vs Hinckley RFC

The Titans return to Summerfield Stadium this Saturday determined to put a difficult start to the season behind them. Two defeats in the opening weeks have been accompanied by performances that have fallen short of the standards expected. This weekend offers the perfect chance to reset, respond, and show what the squad is capable of on home soil.

Hinckley arrive in Somerset buoyed by a solid home victory over Loughborough Students last weekend. That result underlines the quality and threat they will bring on the road, and the Titans know they will need to raise their levels to secure their first win of the season.

Last season’s clashes between the two sides were nothing short of thrilling. At home, the Titans came out on top in a high-scoring classic, edging Hinckley 49–47 in front of a delighted crowd. Taunton then backed that up with an impressive 17–27 victory away from home to complete the double. Those results highlight the attacking potential of both teams and suggest another entertaining contest could be in store.
