Off to Gloucester II's this week in a 4th v 5th battle. The Hartpury University boys are having a great season and are one of the form sides with their current league postion their highest since they were formed less than 20 years ago.
So, by no means a club in the accepted sense, but nevertheless formidable opposition in part thanks to their tie-up with Gloucester. Of course, you could argue that Blues now have the same relationship with Saints. It all calls into question just what the Championship has become - a debate for another day.
This is another Friday night game (kick off 7.45) that will see four changes to a Blues side which ran out convincing winners over Doncaster last week.
In the pack James Fish will be at hooker and Kieran Curran keep his place in the back row. Joel Matavesi comes in at centre with George Hedny returning at full back.
It promises to be an entertaining high-scoring encounter.
Blues: 15. George Hendy, 14. Sean French, 13. Ethan Grayson, 12. Joel Matavesi, 11. Dean Adamson, 10. Will Maisey, 9. Alex Day (Captain); 1. Joey Conway, 2. James Fish, 3. Oisin Heffernan, 4. Robin Williams, 5. Luke Frost, 6. Kayde Sylvester, 7. Kieran Curran, 8. Tui Uru.
Bench: 16. Jack Hughes, 17. Monty Royston, 18. Ed Prowse, 19. Emeka Atuanya, 20. Charles Rylands, 21. Rory Brand, 22. Louis Grimoldby, 23. Jamie Elliott.
