Changes for Nottingham

There's a whole host of changes to the side which takes on Nottingham in only our second home game of the Championship campaign (Saturday k.o. 3.00 ) ...

A number of minor injuries were suffered in last week's tough encounter with London Welsh - although there are undoubtedly some others which are the coach's prerogative

In the backs  Steffan Jones, Ollie Dodge, Sam Blanchet, Jake Sharp and Henry Taylor all start while Phil Boulton, Mark Flanagan and Hayden Thompson-Stringer are in the pack.

On form it should be a win for the Blues with the visitors taking until last week to register their first win when they overcame Mosely 34-22 at home. But they do have five bonus points and, as a result, lie just below us in mid table. A win will change that.
