The Ipswich Witches have more Premiership action tonight as they travel to the Sheffield Tigers.

The two sides met on Monday at Foxhall in front of the Eurosport cameras with Ipswich racing to an impressive 51-39 win, ending their poor run of form.

This fixture is the return R1 fixture, meaning the Suffolk side hold a four-point lead in the battle for the aggregate bonus point after a narrow win over the Tigers back in April.

The visitors have made a change to their team in the build-up to this fixture with Dan Thompson coming into the side to replace his twin brother Joe in the Rising Star position.

Joe came in as a late replacement for the injured Jack Thomas in pre-season but has found points hard to come by in the top-flight.

His twin brother Dan was recently released by Leicester and the Ipswich management have moved quickly to bring him into the team and he will make his debut on Thursday.

Ben Barker also returns to the team after missing Monday’s win with a back injury.

Team boss Ritchie Hawkins said: "We will go the Sheffield to attack the meeting and obviously a four-point lead is not a great margin for a bonus point.

"Doyley and Emil are going well everywhere, Danny very much likes Sheffield and so does Ben if he is back.

"I think it is a place Keynan will take well to, so we got a team we know can score well around there and we will go there off the back of a good performance on Monday looking to put another one in.

"It is a fast track that we will enjoy racing on, and it is somewhere we might have to go to a few times this year by the looks of things, so we need to get dialled in quickly.

"You race speedway to go fast and race hard and that is what you need to do at Sheffield.

"We are not in a position where we are getting free hits at the moment and everywhere we go if we can pick up points, they are going to be a bonus and much needed.

"I wouldn’t say there is pressure on the meeting, it is a bit early for that but if we can do something around there it will certainly make the league table look a bit more favourable to us."
