The Coventry Rugby side to face Blaydon at home this Saturday 8th December at the Butts Park Arena; kick off 3pm has just been announced. It shows just  one change and 2 positional ones from the starting line up from the Coventry that was defeated away at Old Albanian 3 weeks ago.

There is a switch at prop forward as Nico Steenkamp comes in from the bench in place of Rob Dugard. There is also a positional switch in the back row as Matt Tibbatts moves from No 8 to No 6, his place being taken by Jacques le Roux.

On the replacements is a welcome return for scrum half Lewis Barker in place of Ross Kevan, and Will Maisey returns from his sojourn at Nuneaton RFC in place of Joe Nellany.  At replacement hooker sees Greg Sammons coming in for Davy McGregor.
