The Coventry Rugby side to face Esher at the Butts Park Arena, this Saturday 23rd March kick off 3pm has just been announced.
It shows three changes in the starting line up from the team that lost so narrowly away at Macclesfield; with a further three changes on the bench. Andy Murray is recalled from his loan spell at Broad Street as winger in place of Greg Evans, who goes onto the bench, for his second start of the season. The selection of Andy who has been playing either as fullback, winger or scrumhalf for Broad Street gives Coventry Rugby options amongst the replacements. Scott Morgan returns as lock in place of Danny Wright, who also switches to the bench, whilst there is a first start for Bristol Academy prop forward Will Davis in place of Nico Steenkamp, with Nico named on the bench.

A big blow not having Steenkamp available as Esher have one of the best scrums in the league, prop Millard is particularly outstanding for them. One great character in the Esher side is Kris Chesney who played for Saracens for many years starting in the pre-professional era. A second-row, he has also played wing for Saracens and has played at Coundon Road in the past.
having seen the highlights of the bears game last sunday butts was like a bog.if the pitch is as bad this week maybe Otutaha should have been given a chance as he is the strongest running,hardest tackling back in the squad.still nice to see a loan player recalled even though a stronger player may be required in the expected conditions.

A correction to my previous post, I see Steenkamp is on the bench. I have heard though that he is carrying an injury from last week, is this correct? Also is Danny Hobbs not available to us this week?
Jimmy kiwi is a real difficult one to understand. Last year we were praying he would stay and having got our (supporters) wish we have hardly seen him on the pitch. I know he was injured early on in the season but in my book he is still one of the best we have.
Any one know how Luke Myring is getting on? Did he have the surgery? Will he be here for next season?
Finally it will be nice to see Spencer Sutherland back at the Butts. He is a nice lad and it will be interesting to see how he has progressed since leaving. (Not to much I hope)
