NEWPORT Wasps travel to Exeter Falcons tonight (7.30pm) with Reading Racer Phil Morris (pictured) guesting for injured Swede Anders Henriksson.
Henriksson is still struggling with a badly injured ankle he picked up riding in Sweden, Maverick Tom Brown comes in the Wasps team at seven for fellow Wasps casualty Ryan Tolley.
It promises to be a hard day's night for Wasps at Exeter's County Ground, a re-run match from the meet on September 10 when failed floodlights forced the race to be postponed.
The original race was scrapped with the home side 14-4 ahead before the ground's floodlights went off and Exeter boss Colin Hill has forced to fix the problem after previous meetings were blighted by the same problem.
The home side have shown visiting sides little respect and some big names have toppled there.
It might be better for Newport if the lights stay off as Exeter are in fine form at the moment and Wasps will be the first to admit their form away from home has been dire this season, Steve Masters and his side will do well to take any points from the meet.
The Newport team face former team-mate Krister Marsh, who rode for Wasps in the early part of the 2001 season before parting ways with the club.
Newport Wasps: 1-Phil Morris, 2-Scott Smith, 3-Glenn Cunningham, 4-C Neath, 5-Steve Masters, 5- Rob Finlow, 7-Tom Brown.
Exeter Falcons: 1-Michael Coles, 2-Mark Simmonds, 3-Lawrence Hare, 4-Seemond Stephens, 5-Krister Marsh, 6-Bobby Eldridge, 7-Jason Prynne.
