As you can see, there are a couple of changes to the side this week. Matthews is on the bench as front row cover and the second row remains the same. Archer moves to blind side, with Corcoran and MacDougall making up the back row. Newberry is on the bench and Moss Goodwin, who replaces the injured Jack Elston, is in line to make his debut. Moss has had a string of good performances in the 2nd XV and has been able to train regularly now he has had a change of roles in the Marines.
Sargent and Lloyd remain as the half backs, with Streets, Smart, Young and Mitchell all injury free from last week. Kyle Lemon comes in for the injured Harry Barker after having a couple of weeks out with an eye operation.
We are looking forward to going to Sutton as the underdogs and we’re determined to put together a better performance than last week. Training has been competitive all week and numbers have been good. The 2nd XV are travelling to Sutton with us so it should be an entertaining coach journey back, which is always better after winning!!!
Cheers Baz
