While both the Tigers and second-from-bottom Pertemps Bees both lost last week, basement club Launceston won, which leaves the Tigers just five points ahead of Launceston and six ahead of the Bees.

“Launceston have the toughest run in with three out of their four games away, the last being at Northampton,” said Fourie.

“So it is vital we beat Moseley as Bees should beat Newbury and Launceston have a tough one away to Esher.

“We are then away to the Bees and then finish with Rotherham at home, but for now we are focused on beating Moseley.

“They like to stretch you by throwing the ball around but we know what we are up against having drawn 13-13 down at their place.

“We will have to be far more aggressive, especially in the face of their skipper Neil Mason and Number 8 James Rodwell, who both like to put themselves about a bit. Our key players will need to take the right options and we need to get our team selection right.”

While skipper Jimmy Ponton starts on the bench explosive centre Luther Burrell is back at 12 after making his Guinness Premiership bow last week for Leeds down at Saracens.

Indeed, there has been a bit swapping around in the backline, with Matt Riley starting at fullback, Chris Briers moving in from the wing to partner Burrell in the centre and Chris Hall taking Briers’ place out on the flank.

Chris Leck is preferred at scrum-half while in the pack Martin Halsall starts at loose head; Fourie himself partners Glen Townson in the second row; while Juan Crous steps in for Ponton. Andy Craig, Jamie Albinson, Phil Gazzola and Ed Norris all start on the bench.

Moseley coach Ian Smith told the Birmingham Mail: 'We have to make sure we get the components of our game right... Sedgley… have a good set of forwards and a very energetic style of play and if there are any chinks in your defence they will find it.”

He’s named the same 22 that won at Plymouth; it includes two former Tigers – former Sedgley junior prop Jack Forster, who is on loan to the Red and Blacks from Guinness Premiership high-fliers Gloucester, and lock Paul Arnold, who scored the winning try last week down at Plymouth. Another player on-loan from the Cherry and Whites, centre Jack Adams, has recovered from a broken nose and is named in the starting 15.
