Coventry Rugby head to Dillingham Park this Saturday afternoon looking to continue momentum in Champ Rugby as they face a tough test against Ampthill RUFC (14:00 kick-off).

The Blue & Whites name a powerful forward pack for the trip to Bedfordshire, with Aristot Benz-SalomonJordon Poole (c) and Eliot Salt forming the front row. Club captain Poole once again leads the side from hooker, bringing experience and physicality to the set-piece battle.

In the second row, Dan Green partners Senitiki Nayalo, offering a blend of leadership and dynamism in the engine room.

The back row sees Allan Ferrie at blindside, Tom Ball on the openside and Morgan Strong at No.8 – a balanced trio that will be key at the breakdown and in carrying over the gain line.

At scrum-half, Josh Barton gets the nod, linking up with Tommy Mathews at fly-half. The duo will look to control territory and tempo as Coventry aim to play with precision away from home.

Out wide, there is plenty of attacking threat. Ewan Baker and David Opoku-Fordjour start on the wings, with Tom Bacon providing security and counter-attacking ability from full-back.

In midfield, Morgan Adderly-Jones and Dayfdd-Rhys Tiueti combine in the centres, offering a strong mix of direct running and defensive steel.
