Match Preview

Despite last week’s tough result to Redruth, the boys showed some flashes of brilliance in the first half, running in some lovely tries. These will be the basis of today’s game as we go away to Newport Salop.

After a poor start to the season, which sees them sit bottom of the table, the fishes will be looking to record just their 3 win of the season this week.

Exeter Uni on the other hand have been one of the pace setters this season. After 6 wins in the opening 6 rounds, losses have started to creep in with the start of the BUCS Super Rugby season.

TEAM NEWS
Although last week’s result didn’t go our way, plenty of players performed well, and its reflected in Hodges’ and Elliot’s selection this week.

George Arnold is pack in the front row, with Archie Alexander moving back across to tighthead. Behind them, Milo Hallam has a new second row partner in the form of Tirion Bowen. Former Scotland U20 Rob Gordon comes in at 6 to complete the changes in the pack. The back line remains entirely unchanged from last week.

A couple of potential debuts on the bench as well with front rowers Owains Watts and Tom Giglio wait in reserve.
