Head Coach Tyreman has named his squad for this weekends visit of the Dragons. Leach returns at hooker for his first game of the season and Prop Dickin making his second appearance along side fellow prop Kev Verity who brings a wealth of experience to the pack. Smith again is named in the halves and teams up with the versatile Puna to make the halfback pairing. Stokes and Powley remain first choice for the second row positions and Hill is rewarded for this excellent train with a place at loose forward.

The backs remain mostly unchanged as Pullar and Ollason stay on the wings along side centre York. Jonty Bland also joins the back line bringing his size, strength, power and ball handling skills to the position. Garrard remains at fullback for this encounter.

Player coach Tyreman drops from the team to the bench as a knee injury picked up away at York is still causing problems. The interchanges are also strong as Cole and Cazuax can play anywhere in the backs. Agar offers cover for the back row and Kilby and Beal cover prop. Ash Bellamy makes his debut for the club and will offer cover for hooker the halves and full back.
