WIMBORNE skipper Dave Huggins has stressed "we need points massively" ahead of their trip to Dorchester tomorrow (2.30pm).
The All Blacks were pipped 14-7 by Wootton Bassett last weekend and slipped off the Southern Counties South promotion pace.
But Dorchester, who lost 41-3 at Frome, are second bottom with only one win in eight matches.
So it is an ideal opportunity for mid-table Wimborne to get back on track.
Huggins said: "We need to put a lot of points on Dorchester. We need to score early, and keep scoring to improve our points difference.
"We also need to defend well like we did against Wootton, play with confidence and enjoy it because two defeats in a row is not good.
"Almost everyone who has played Dorchester this season has put big points on them and we need to do it as well."
Flanker Andy Davey is sidelined after sustaining an arm injury, and second row Richard Jordan joins him after breaking two fingers.
