COVENTRY Rugby have named their squad ahead of the club’s Community Day fixture against Ampthill at Butts Park Arena.

Alex Rae’s side suffered defeat at Hartpury last time out as the visitors just fell short in their attempt to pull off a remarkable second-half comeback.

In the front row, Toby Trinder, Jordon Poole and Eliot Salt pack down together.

Behind them, Jack Shine and Senitiki Nayalo resume their second-row partnership.

In the back row, Mackenzie Graham and Tom Ball retain their shirts, joined by Morgan Strong.

The half-back pairing sees Sam Maunder link up with Tommy Mathews.




Out wide, Ewan Baker and David Opoku-Fordjour start with Tom Bacon at full-back.

And in midfield, Api Bavadra and Morgan Adderly-Jones combine once again.


Front-row options from the bench include Murray Davidson, Aristot Benz-Salomon, and Matt Johnson.

And Onisivoro Nayagi and Dan Green also provide forward cover.

The backs are supported by Josh Barton, Dafydd Rhys-Tiueti, and Oli Morris.

Coventry host Ampthill on Saturday, November 15 with kick-off at 1pm at Butts Park Arena.
