Head Coach, Rob Powell, has made six changes from his last side that travelled to Rams in the previous round.

In the pack, Henry Wills starts at openside flanker, looking to make an impact with his defensive work rate and Mark Bright returns at No.8, leading the team.

In the backline, Luc Jones starts at scrum-half, looking to cause problems to the Sedgley Park defence. Paddy Case is back at outside centre as he looks to add more tries to his tally.

On the bench, Vaughan Bentley acts as a versatile front row replacement and Cameron Gray covers the second row.

Alex Post will make his 50th cap for Richmond, a fantastic achievement for our hooker!
