Bester wary of Nottingham threat

The Clifton Lane club went within an ace of sensationally winning at Worcester last week, hard on the heels of their previous two league victories. They brought a bonus point home from Sixways, with the former Premiership side only snatching the points in the final ten minutes.

But Bester knows that Nottingham-above his side in the table after two wins from their first three matches-will be tough opponents tomorrow.

“I was proud of the way the players performed at Worcester. We wanted an improvement in our performance and got it and almost got the win we would have deserved,” he said.

“We now have to keep the players’ feet on the ground and not get carried away. Nottingham are a good, strong side and we will have to be at our best to beat them.”

Rotherham are expected to start with largely the same side as last week. Kick off is 3pm.
