Match Preview

Richmond prepares for this Saturday’s game as they travel to play local rivals Rosslyn Park in the South-West London clash in Round 14 of National 1 kicking off at 3pm!

Rob Powell has made five changes from his last side that faced Rams in the previous round.

Max Murphy starts in the engine room at second row, the hard hitter that is Lucas Schmid is back and starts at blindside flanker. After making his debut off the bench in Round 13 and putting in a great performance, youngster Harry Breeze is making his first start at openside flanker and the energetic winger Chidera Obonna is making his 1st XV debut.

On the bench, the illusive Miles Wakeling returns to the squad for the first time this season recovering from injury and brings his versatility to the second and back row and all-rounder Ted Landray covers the back line.
