London Scottish visit The Olney Field on Saturday afternoon in The Mob final home game of the calendar year.
Following back to back away wins at Richmond and then Doncaster Knights, Dave Ward’s side will be looking to put on a show for the supporters on The Olney Field
Head Coach Dave Ward makes one change to the team that won at Castle Park last Saturday. An unchanged pack with Harrison Courtney at loosehead, Seb Smith at hooker and Harvey Beaton at tighthead. Ollie Mullarkey and Justin Mataele continue to build chemistry in the engine room with a back-row of Charlie West on the blindside, vice-captain Charles Rylands on the openside and Tino Mapapalangi again at number eight.
Efan Jones starts at scrum half – his eleventh successive game since joining in the summer, with Knight’s man of the match Finn Keylock again at ten. Club captain Fraser Strachan has Tongan Sione Va’enuku alongside him in midfield. The only change comes in the back three with Angus Hall replacing Oscar Wilson on the left wing with double try-scorer Brandon Jackson on the right and Josh Barton at full back.
Following a final training sessions last night, Dave Ward said “we’re looking to back up the away results with a performance against a strong London Scottish side. Scottish have been showing significant improvements in recent performances and we’re not underestimating them but want to put on a show in front of our home crowd.”
Tickets are available now via TicketCo or on the gate.
