As is the way with preseason we see 7 lads come into the 20 boys in the first team and a staggering 11 in the second team. In the 1's it's a brand new front row with Johnny McSorley starting this week and the return of first team regulars Sion Gittins and Tom Taylor.
The starting pack changes continue as Ross Radford gets a start after impressing at training recently. Young Harry Nordenfeldt is given another opportunity to continue his development and will be partnered by Alex Cokeley and Rob Baldwin. We had a bit of a soft underbelly early door on Saturday. So Cokeley and Baldwin will be expected to help us win the gain line battle.
Our back line looks strong with Cameron Wallace starting this week after coming on as a sub last Saturday. He had an excellent cameo and will be one to watch as he partners Lewis Chater in the ten spot. Regular first teamer, Harry Tankard comes in to partner Michael Searle - a well balanced pair of centres. The back three is unchanged.
Great to see David Medjigbodo-Lawson get his first run out of pre season in the front row.
In the 2's keep an eye out for the senior debut of Dan Morosan who has graduated from our colts, Chyaro Hylton who makes a much anticipated club debut in the centres and Jay Turton who will be playing in his first ever game of rugby. In addition, great to see the like of Eddie Mason return to our senior playing squads.
Both games kick off at 1500, feel free to throw on a Hawaiian shirt for after match proceedings in the refurbished bar.
Up the Vos !
