It sounds like a broken record, but discipline will be one of the factors that determines whether Hull RUFC beat Loughborough Students at Chants Ave on Saturday.
Scrum-half Rob Watts hopes his side can keep all 15 players on the field of play after seeing two of his colleagues sent to the sin bin in their 27-17 loss at Caldy.
The Students, who won the first meeting by five points earlier in the season, are fifth in National Two North, six places ahead of Hull who are 14 points behind their opponents.

If Hull can keep their discipline in check, Watts feels the scrum can play an important part in winning on Saturday.
