Team news for Nighthawks visit to Cambridge University

The teams have been named for Coventry Nighthawks’ trip to Cambridge University on Wednesday.

There is a blend of first teamers and Development Academy players in the match squad, including Tony Fenner, who lines up at centre for his first action of the season.

Cambridge University are unbeaten so far this season and include a pair of seasoned internationals in the scrum’s engine room for the first time together, namely James Horwill (62 caps for Australia) and Flip van der Merwe (37 caps for South Africa), who continue a tradition of southern hemisphere experience in the Light Blue shirts.
