Rob Powell has selected a 30-man squad to best prepare for the upcoming season. The Richmond starting pack features 2 new signings and a position change. To combat Jersey Reds famously big pack, Powell has gone with the stable prop duo of Conor Maguire and Jimmy Litchfield and transitioning from blindside flanker to hooker is last season's player of the year David Massey. New signings Max Murphy and Chris Te Mete work the engine in the second row. Rounding off the pack in the back row are Ethan Benson at 6, Toby Saysell at 7 and Captain Mark Bright.

We see new boys Matt Marsh and Tom Smith pull the strings at 9 and 10. Hamish Graham is joined by ex-GB 7s player Alec Coombs in the centres. After a long-term injury last season, Tom Mills returns to the starting team, joined by two-time BUCS winner from Exeter Uni Max Bliss and at the back is Jersey boy Will Kaye.
