Jersey Reds' Director of Rugby Harvey Biljon has admitted it's "frustrating" that his team have to wait an extra week to begin their RFU Championship campaign.
The new season kicks off this weekend but Reds have a bye for the opening round of fixtures, with their first game of the season against Saracens on March 13th.
Reds were beaten 26-13 by Cornish Pirates in their second pre season friendly on Saturday.
Despite that, Biljon says he's 90% sure of his starting XV provided he has a fully fit squad.
