The Midlanders were the first side to visit Old Bath Road in Level Three, the home side edging out a thriller 25-21 before winning an even more spectacular contest away in the final game before Christmas – Drew Humberstone’s last-play penalty snatching a 29-27 victory.

The spoils were shared when rugby returned post-pandemic, Moseley collecting another dramatic clash at OBR as they edged home 27-26.

And while Rams won both games in 2022/23, their rivals gained revenge for a 50-36 opening day loss to triumph 39-31 in the final game of last season.

Both sides have started well this term – Rams sitting top and unbeaten with fourth-placed Birmingham having only gone down at Plymouth Albion when illness had broken out in their camp.
