Coventry Rugby are back on the road this Saturday as they travel to The RAG to take on London Scottish in Round 21 of Champ Rugby action (KO: 3pm).
Head coach Alex Rae has named his matchday 23 for the fixture, with the Blue & Whites looking to build momentum on the road against a competitive London Scottish side as the league enters a pivotal stage.
The front row sees Aristot Benz-Salomon and captain Jordon Poole joined by Matt Johnson, while Dan Green partners Jack Shine in the second row. In the back row, Allan Ferrie, Tom Ball, and Morgan Strong combine to provide energy and physicality at the breakdown.
In the backs, Josh Barton starts at scrum-half with Tommy Mathews at fly-half. The midfield pairing of Morgan Adderly-Jones and Dafydd-Rhys Tiueti continues, while Api Bavadra and David Opoku-Fordjour occupy the wings - with Opoku-Fordjour set to make his 50th appearance for the club. Tom Bacon starts at full-back to complete the XV.
There is also a potential debut off the bench for Taio Varndell, who could make his first appearance for Coventry Rugby if called upon.
