The Coventry Rugby team has been named for Saturday’s home Championship clash with Bedford Blues (KO 3:00pm).

Cov have made a number of changes to the starting line-up from Round 1. Props James Gibbons and Phil Boulton start, as do their fellow forwards James Voss, Adam Peters and Jack Ram. In the backs Will Maisey and Pete White make their first starts of the season, with Tony Fenner coming onto the bench to be in line for his first action since January.

Unfortunately Junior Bulumakau will not be in contention. The winger ruptured his ACL in the Championship Cup clash with Ealing Trailfinders and has been ruled out for the rest of the season.

Last season’s league matches went down to the final few minutes, with the teams sharing more than 20 tries between them over the 160 minutes. The Championship Cup clash three weeks ago also saw the lead change hands a number of times, so if those three encounters are anything to go by then supporters will be treated to plenty of action.
