Portsmouth '˜accuracy' must be improved

The derby win against United Services Portsmouth saw them move up to third in London three south west.

They are aiming to keep climbing towards the summit.

Head coach Neil McRoberts wants to see his team convert good play into more points.

He said: '˜I am looking for us to push on after two good wins.

'˜Against United Services we were fantastic in defence.

'˜Where we could have been better was with our accuracy in the final third.

'˜That is the one thing that stopped us from winning by a bigger margin.

'˜If we can add this to our game then things will be looking good.

'˜Andover will present us with similar problems to United Services.

'˜They have a big powerful pack so we will need to show the same physicality.'

Portsmouth are boosted by the inclusion of Simon Morgan who comes in for the unavailable Chris Morgan.

Simon has the versatility to play at outside-half or scrum-half.

His goal kicking and general distribution of the ball are also strengths.

The forwards remain unchanged but Elliott Worrall returns to the bench after injury.

McRoberts added: '˜It is all very tight at the top of our league leaving little margin for error.

'˜A win will enable us to keep the pressure on the top two.

'˜Winning has to be our focus and after that to push for the bonus points.'
