Match Preview

On Saturday, Richmond Men’s 1st XV travel to Old Bath Road, facing Rams in Round 25 of National League 1 kicking off at 3pm in their last away game of the season.

For those unable to make the game, coverage will be provided on X (formerly known as Twitter) RichmondFC1861

Head Coach, Rob Powell, has made four changes from his side that drew to Birmingham Moseley in the previous round.

In the pack, Callum Torpey returns at hooker and George Nugent comes back into the engine room and Jake Monson shuffles over to blindside flanker.

In the backline, Rhett Butler makes his first start of the season at scrum-half and on the bench; Luke Spring makes his comeback from injury.

David Massey will make his 50th cap for Richmond on Saturday, a fantastic achievement for our jack of all trades. He has played loose-head prop, blindside & openside flanker and inside centre in the space of a season.
