MOSELEY face Bristol tonight not only looking to secure a magnificent hat-trick of victories over the Championship leaders but, according to Glyn Hughes, do so liberated from the burden of expectation.

The Billesley Common side have already beaten Liam Middleton’s men in the league and also registered a British & Irish Cupset when their second strings met at the Memorial Stadium in October.

And last Friday night’s win over Plymouth means Mose have a five-point lead on Esher going into the play-offs.

Which is why Hughes, who is expected to start at fly-half, believes his side have what is effectively a free hit.

“We’ve got nothing to lose, there’s no pressure on us. We beat Plymouth and hopefully that builds a bit of momentum,” he said.

“We can go into it with no holds barred at all and just attack them and see what comes of it like we did against London Welsh. Even the top teams make mistakes so you never know.”
