COVENTRY Rugby have named their squad ahead of the club’s home fixture against Chinnor this weekend.

Alex Rae’s side suffered defeat against Bedford Blues last time out which brought an end to the club’s five-game winning run.

And Rae has brought Eliot Salt, Api Bavadra and Jack Reeves into the side as he makes three changes from the defeat against Bedford.

That means Matt Johnson and Ewan Baker drop to the bench with Allan Ferrie not involved in the matchday squad.

Coventry host Chinnor on Saturday, January 30 with kick-off at 3pm at Butts Park Arena.
