This weekend sees the Czech Republic make their bow in ENC 2A this season when they host Poland at the Městský stadionu in Ostrava. The match also doubles as a RWC 2011 qualifier.

Their opponents Poland have already hosted group leaders The Ukraine and were beaten by a point in a very competitive match. The Czech's had a successful run out against Croatia in October however their form prior to this win has been dire losing 16 matches in a row.

The key to this match will be whether the Czech's can use the home advantage to their favour, if so they are a chance and will require their 9 French based players to step up and be counted. If they do not then it will be an easy win for the Poles.
