Buccaneers make their solitary trip north this season when they meet Queens University at The Dub, Belfast on Saturday.
Kick-off for this Energia All-Ireland League Division 1B game is 2:30pm.
Queens are likely to be still smarting from the play-off home defeat to Buccs, which delayed their promotion to 1B until this season.
Queens have won two and lost two matches to date. Their opening three games were high-scoring affairs. However, suffered defeat at Blackrock 17-7 last weekend.
The Students line-up, like Buccs is much changed from their last meeting. However, James Humphreys (son of incoming IRFU Performance Director David) is a very able fly-half.
Whereas, Ben Gibson, Jonny Hunter and Robbie Johnston are other familiar names in their backline. Lorcan McLoughlin and Harry Long are key components in the pack.
Buccaneers are the only team in all five AIL divisions to remain pointless. Buccs showed in the final-quarter against Old Belvedere that there is potential in their ranks but more sustained and disciplined efforts are needed to get returns.
