For the third week in a row, Ealing Trailfinders have named an unchanged starting XV as they prepare to travel to Nottingham.

Team Line-up: London Scottish (H)

There’s just one change to the match day squad as Ealing Trailfinders prepare for another London derby, this time against London Scottish.

After a strong 0-50 victory against Richmond at the RAG last weekend, Trailfinders will be hoping for an equally strong performance as they get their first opportunity to play at TFSC for a month.

Last weekend’s performance sees the starting XV remain unchanged, with the only alteration seeing Will Montgomery come on to the bench.

This continuity means that up front, Kyle Whyte, Alun Walker and George Davis will all pack down in the front-row, with Andrew Davidson and Simon Linsell supporting them from the second-row.

In the back-row, Rob Farrar will captain the side from the blindside, with Ollie Newman and Jack Digby on the openside and number 8 respectively.

The halfbacks of Craig Hampson and Craig Willis will look to link up with Reuben Bird-Tulloch and Max Bodilly in the midfield.

The back-three will see February’s Player of the Month James Cordy-Redden link up with Cian Kelleher and Jonah Holmes.

Team Line-up: Richmond (A)

After more than a month away, league action is back as Ealing Trailfinders travel to rivals Richmond on Saturday afternoon.

The West-Londoners know they must be at the top of their game as the return to league action sees the West-Londoners just a point clear of Jersey Reds, who are in second place.

A strong side has named been named for the trip to the RAG, starting up front with Kyle Whyte and George Davis packing down either side of Alun Walker.

In the second-row, Andrew Davidson partners Simon Linsell, while the back-row sees Ollie Newman make his first Trailfinders start, while Rob Farrar captains the team and Jack Digby plays eight.

The halfbacks are Craig Hampson and Craig Willis, while Reuben Bird-Tulloch and Max Bodilly untie in the midfield.

The back-three sees Cian Kelleher and James Cordy-Redden on the wings, while Jonah Holmes starts at fullback.

Trailfinders have opted for a 5-3 split on the bench, with Adam Korczyk in the match day squad for the first time this season.

Team Line-up: Hartpury (A) Cup

Ahead of our final round of the group stages, Ben Ward and his coaching team have named another strong side ahead of this crucial Championship Cup tie.

With the Trailfinders just a point ahead of Jersey Reds in Pool 1, they know that only a bonus point victory will see them top the group and guarantee a path through to the knockout stages.

This however will be easier said than done, as they travel to the ALPAS Arena to face a strong Hartpury side who will be looking for revenge from last month’s 13-26 defeat.

The team which will look to qualify for the next round will see Kyle Whyte and Ross Kane start upfront, either side of Alun Walker.

After his successful impact off the bench, Andrew Davidson will start for the first time as he partners Simon Linsell in the second-row.

The back-row remains unchanged, as Rob Farrar captains the side from the blindside, with Simon Uzokwe and David Douglas Bridge continuing at openside and number 8 respectively.

After a dominant display last weekend, Jordan Burns and Dan Lancaster continue at halfback as they look to develop their partnership further.

There is only one change to the backline, as Steven Shingler drops out due to injury, allowing James Cordy-Redden to start from the outset. This does however require a bit of reshuffling of positions, as Max Bodilly shifts to back to the centres where he partners Reuben Bird-Tulloch. This then allows Jonah Holmes to move back to fullback, with Cian Kelleher and Cordy-Redden on the wings.

Among the replacements, new signing Rhys Anstey is in line to make his Trailfinders debut as he is named in the number 19 shirt.

Team Line-Up: Nottingham (H) Cup

After last weekend’s second-half fightback away in Jersey, Ben Ward and his coaches have named another strong side for tomorrow’s Championship Cup fixture against Nottingham.

Currently sitting at the top of Pool 1, Trailfinders know that passage through to the knock-out stages are within their own control, but they will face two tough tests, starting tomorrow against a resurgent Nottingham side.

Kyle Whyte comes into the front-row alongside Alun Walker and George Davis. The back five of the scrum remains unchanged, with Will Montgomery and Simon Linsell in the engine room and Rob Farrar, Simon Uzokwe and David Douglas Bridge making up the back-row.

 

There is a change at halfback, as Jordan Burns gets the opportunity to start after his try scoring impact off the bench last week. He will link up with Dan Lancaster who slots in at fly-half.

In the midfield, Steven Shingler will captain the side from 12, while Reuben Bird-Tulloch keeps his spot at 13. After impressing last weekend, Max Bodilly continues at fullback, while Jonah Holmes and Cian Kelleher returning on the wings.

Among the replacements is new signing Andrew Davidson, with the big second-row in line to make his debut from the bench.

Team Line-up: Jersey Reds (A) Cup

With a change in competition, it doesn’t mean there’s a change in intensity as Ben Ward and his coaching team have named a strong side for our trip to Jersey.

Up front, James Gibbons and Alun Walker will pack down next to George Davis who is making his first start of the season.

Will Montgomery switches from number eight to partner Simon Linsell in the second-row. This allows David Douglas Bridge to come in and make his first Trailfinders start, with match day captain Rob Farrar on the blindside and Simon Uzokwe on the openside.

Craig Hampson and Craig Willis continue at half-back, while Peter Robb and Reuben Bird-Tulloch will make up an exciting, new-look midfield.

The back-three sees James Cordy-Redden and Nathan Earle partner Max Bodilly, who shifts to fullback.

Tomorrow’s game at the State Santander International will kick-off at 2pm. If you are making the trip over, you can buy tickets here. Alternatively, you can follow the live coverage via Twitter.

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.

Team Line-up: Hartpury (A)

Ahead of tomorrow’s trip to form-side Hartpury, Ben Ward and his coaching staff have named another powerful lineup.

The trip to the West-Country is always a tough one, but with the hosts on a five-match winning streak and some very cold temperatures being forecast, this one may be trickier than most!

The Trailfinders can be confident however, having already beat Hatpury twice this season, once in the league and once in the cup!

Tomorrow’s game will see local boy James Gibbons pack down alongside Shaun Malton and Lewis Thiede, with Bobby De Wee and Simon Linsell providing the grunt from the engine room.

The back-row sees Rayn Smid return at number eight, where he will captain the side, next to Rob Farrar and Simon Uzokwe on the flanks.

The backline is vastly unchanged, with Craig Hampson and Craig Willis continuing at halfback while Pat Howard and Max Bodilly remain in the midfield.

The one alteration does come in the back-three with Luke Daniels returning to the squad alongside Cian Kelleher and Jonah Holmes.

There is a notable name on the bench, as Will Montgomery returns from injury to potentially play for the first time in almost two months.

Tickets for tomorrow’s game are still available from £15. Get yours here.
