It is first time the ladder leaders have played in two weeks after having their game against Kempsey Heights washed out last week.
Despite
their lofty position on the table, the side has suffered a significant blow with the news that their regular keeper will be out for six weeks through injury.
Captain Tim Smith he expects other players to help fill the void.
“I am looing forward to seeing Matt Scott and Luke Fuller have big games,” he said.
“Overall, I would like to see an improvement in our batting heading into the finals.”
Their opponents are looking to get back among the winners after losing to the United All Blacks last week.
Nulla captain Brody Clarke is under no illusions about the task ahead for his team.
“Rovers are the defending champions and I think they will probably go close again this year with their current form,” he said.
“I thought we played alright last week but just didn’t get enough runs on the board. We just need to keep progressing and try to have some fun along the way.
