DORSET & Wilts team boss Matt Pallas believes his team still have what it takes to reach their third Twickenham final in five years despite being forced into a number of changes for tomorrow's semi final.

The Twin Counties, who won the tournament in 2010 and 2011, breezed through their pool matches with three wins out of three, but travel to Leicestershire - the opponents they defeated in the first of those two triumphs - for their last-four clash.

The sides meet at Vipers RFC for the right to meet either Cumbria or Essex in the showpiece final and Pallas admitted: "We have had to make a few changes to the starting XV due to players having other commitments, some work and a couple attending weddings.

"But I feel that this has not weakened the team in any way and the lads who have come in have been very patient and deserve the opportunity to play.''

The squad, captained by Royal Wootton Bassett RFC flanker Dave Hogg, travel up today, staying overnight in a local hotel.

Bassett prop Gary Williamson is also in the starting XV, with clubmates Phil Bardwell and Gavin Ougan on the bench alongside Swindon's Mike Thompson.

Wingers Stephen Barber (Chippenham) and Jorge Wadman (Devizes) both start, with Bradford on Avon's John King among the travelling reserves.
