The Coventry Rugby side to face Blaydon at home this Saturday 18th January 2014, kick off 3 pm at the Butts Park Arena, has just been announced. 

It shows 6 changes with two positional changes from the starting side that last Saturday had a hard fought victory over Henley Hawks. Barry Davies returns at full-back with Cliffie Hodgson reverting to centre in place of Luke Myring. Will Maisey comes in at fly-half in place of Matt Jones, who goes onto the bench. In the front row Andy Brown plays in place of Danny Hobbs and Tim Ryan in for Chad Thorne. It is all change in the back row as there are returns for Sam Pailor at No 6 in place of Brett Daynes and Jacques le Roux returns at No 8 in place of Matt Tibbatts who goes to No 7 in place of Rob Nash.

On the replacements Ignas Darkintis comes in on the front row in place of Tim Ryan whilst James Otutaha comes in in place of Callum MacBurnie.

Well that's a shake up!!!

Interesting that posters have said give Maisey a chance. I personally thought his speed of attack and defence skills were very good at the start of the season.
Interesting that Daynes doesn't get onto the bench as can cover multiple positions.

Luke does seem to get a lot of injuries but that's what happens when you put your body on the line?

Didn't see last week but obvious response to an error strewn performance.

Last but not least is Hobbs carrying a knock or just impact sub.

Should be a good game sat

Licking my lips in anticipation already.What a boost it is to see Jacques and Sam returning from long term injuries. Good luck you two. Also, what a great looking bench we have. Plenty of quality to come on later in the game. Let's hope we don't have too much rain before Saturday, which promises to be a tough game. C'mon Cov.

Looks a great back row and pack, nice to see Will Maisey back, hope his tactical kicking is improved. Sorry that I will be missing the game, but will be cheering for COv from the Caribbean.

If we can't win with that side/bench, then perhaps we don't deserve to be a top-three (potentially, of course, given a W in the game in hand) side.

I'm expecting a win

Good looking side, I've hoped will m would be picked and he has, which is great to see, now all he has to do is take his chance to retain the no10 jersey.
As happy as I am with the back row, I am surprised that both the injured players are back in from the start, a more prudent approach would perhaps have been to bring 1 on from the bench as there is no way Jacques can be match fit, and with only 1 back row and lock replacement on the bench at least one of them will have to play a full game, which is a big ask after being out for several months.
Either way with Barry back in and with the match day squad as it is, I'm quietly confident of a win!!

I think there would be a lot more wearing the kit if we could see the products and buy locally Mark,like most other
clubs a club shop is part of the game.

I expect there will be 20 people wearing the new shirts on Saturday. They're the ones this thread is about.
