Rob Herring: “It’s a huge week for the club, it’s been a while since we had a home knock out match in front of our own fans. To play those kind of matches in front of our fans is very important to us. We want to take that next step in Europe, we have had a good campaign so far and we’ll be looking to continue that this Saturday night.”
