Chamionship rugby will be the winner on Boxing Day as Blues and Ampthill attract a sell-out 5,000 crowd. 

It's 4th v 10th so on paper the home side should start as favourites although Ampthill's 20-10 victory at Goldington Road last January should serve as a warning.

There's five changes for Blues with Le Booj back with Will Maisey and George Hendy staring allowing Matt Worley to return to the wing. There's also changes in the front row with Osman Dimen at tighthead and Joey Conway back from injury at loosehead.

New signing Kieran Curran from Wasps will be looking to make his debut from the bench.

Blues: 15. George Hendy, 14. Matt Worley, 13, Jamie Elliott, 12. Michael Le Bourgeois, 11. Dean Adamson, 10. Will Maisey, 9. Alex Day (Captain); 1. Joey Conway, 2. Jack Hughes, 3. Osman Dimen, 4. Luke Frost, 5. Robin Williams, 6. Karl Wilkins, 7. Jac Arthur, 8. Tui Uru

 Replacements: 16. Callum Burns, 17. Lewis Holsey, 18. Corrie Barrett, 19. Tom Lockett, 20. Kieran Curran, 21. Jake Garside, 22. Louis Grimoldby, 23. Tom Litchfield
