WILL Croker has urged Bournemouth to push hard for a bonus-point victory when basement side Chippenham visit Chapel Gate tomorrow (2pm).

Croker's side face National Three South West's bottom three in the next four weeks and the head coach is keen to keep promotion hopes alive.

He told the Daily Echo: "We have got to target the games against the bottom three as being maximums.

"Bonus points are a big deal and we haven't done particularly well in getting try-scoring bonus points.

"That has made a big difference because if we had picked them up in the games we had won, we would be closer to the top sides."

Centre Grant Hancox faces at least a fortnight out with a rib injury while wing Wyn Roberts is being rested in an attempt to shake off a nagging Achilles problem, with Alex Sutherland taking his place on the left wing.

Luke Chandler shifts to outside-centre and Alex Everett-Bolter comes in on the right wing.

Sam Morton drops to the second string and Carlos Snell and Dave MacDonald take their place among the replacements.

Lions: Veneroso, Everett-Bolter, Chandler, Chislett, Sutherland, Gwyther, Hardcastle, Tarrant, Fraser, Firetto, Peart, Bailey, Hennings, Allman, Rees. Replacements: Kochanowski, MacDonald, Snell.
