London Scottish have named their side for the New Year’s Day match against Bedford Blues at Goldington Road, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

The starting line-up features three changes from the side that lost to Ealing Trailfinders on Boxing Day, as the Scots look to begin 2016 with a victory.

There are two changes to the front row, with Jack Cosgrove and David Cherry replacing James Gibbons and Adam Kwasnicki. Matt Shields joins the Scottish pair at Tight-head prop.

Rory Bartle will be in the second-row alongside Will Carrick Smith after Neale Patrick suffered an injury in the Ealing match, with an unchanged back-row of Mark Bright, Chris Walker and Freddie Clarke.

The back-line is also unchanged from last Saturday. George Horne and Dan Newton continue their half-back pairing, Oli Grove and Robbie Fergusson start in the centre positions, with Rory Hughes, Jason Harries and Peter Lydon occupying the back-three.

The Scots have four front-row options on the bench. Kurt Schonert, Adam Kwasnicki, Jimmy Litchfield and Tyrone Moran will look to make an impact against the Blues.

Matt Heeks offers a scrum-half alternative, whilst the versatile pair of Lee Millar and Russell Weir will also be hoping for some game time at Goldington Road.
