Team Line-up: Coventry (H)
Ealing Trailfinders have named another strong squad to take on the in-form Coventry at Trailfinders Sports Club.
Third placed Coventry come into the game off the back of an impressive 19-19 draw against Jersey Reds two weeks ago.
In the Trailfinders’ forward pack, there is only one change from last weekend’s victory away at Hartpury, with the league’s top try-scorer Carlo Tizzano replacing Simon Uzokwe, who will look to make a powerful impact from the bench.
This means that James Gibbons, Shaun Malton and Lewis Thiede all combine again in the front-row after the scrum performed so well in the West-Country.
Simon Linsell continues to skipper the team from second-row and will partner Bobby De Wee in the engine room, while Tizzano joins Rob Farrar and Will Montgomery in the back-row.
Craig Hampson and Craig Willis continue at half-back, while Steven Shingler comes in at inside-centre after impressing off the bench last weekend. He will form a strong partnership with the reliable Max Bodilly.
In the back-three, recent arrival Nathan Earle will will be joined by wing Luke Daniels and fullback Jonah Holmes.
Among the replacements, Danny Cutmore and Jordan Burns will look to make a strong impact, while David Douglas Bridge is in line to make his first-team debut.
