Richmond have named a strong 23-player squad for tomorrow’s Round 10 Championship clash against Hartpury at The Alpas Arena (kick-off 2:30pm - Click here for tickets).
The starting team features four changes following the 36-38 defeat to Ampthill two weeks ago. Second-row Henri Williams earns his first start for Richmond, replacing Sam Collingridge who moves to the bench. Powerful flanker Huw Worthington returns to the number six shirt and forms a formidable back-row partnership with Jack Allcock (78 caps) and Mark Bright (nine tries this season and 189 Championship appearances).
In the backs, scrum-half Charlie Gowling replaces Callum Watson in the number nine shirt, while experienced fly-half Lewis Dennett returns to his old club and will make his 42nd first-team appearance.
On the bench, there’s an exciting return for Harlequins centre Lennox Anyanwu, while back-row Ethan Benson (former Saracens and Old Albanian) and fly-half Tom Ffitch (former Loughborough University and England 7s) are in line to make their First XV debuts.
