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.
