London Cornish begin their on-field prep for the new London 1 South season with a friendly at home to London 1 North newbies HAC on a back pitch at the REMPF. Both clubs field squads of 25+, and the exiles include 10 new faces in their squad, though no place yet for former Samoan International and Heineken Cup winning back row Dan Leo, who is absent along with Cornish locks Harry Somers and James La Broy, and Skipper George Kimmins. The game will give the new coaching team the opportunity to see new combinations in action, and as ever, we will not report the result but may add some photos later in the week!
