Burns is a quality player concentrating on the 7s circuit and assisting training at Abbey, but in the absence of Dan Love, he steps forward to fill the slot.
This is a contest of profligate scoring v stingy defence, Abbey having the highest scoring by far, and Swindon the tightest defence. Both sides are unbeaten, Abbey taking top position by a single bonus point advantage.
Abbey's Head Coach Russell Bolton wants his side to concentrate on their own game, continue the habits established in hard working training sessions, and let the visitors do the worrying about changing shape and style.
