Tonight is your first chance to see the team this season, with many new players selected, take to the field in anger as they travel to Coventry's Butts Park Arena (7.30 p.m. kick off) for the first of four warm up matches.

Ten of the new signings will start, five in the forwards and five in the backs with one other on the bench, it is expected that most of the players taken will get a run out at some stage of the game as is taditional with these matches.

It will be interesting to see how long the players take to gel and if the exciting back line can fire from the first game.

Coventry have a proud tradition and the Coventry players will be looking to give Shaun Perry a warm welcome back and doing their best to get one over on him.

15 V Going
