London Scottish have made six changes to their starting line-up for the match against Nottingham Rugby at the Athletic Ground tomorrow evening.
James Hallam and Max Maidment both return to the front-row in place of David Young and Kurt Schonert.
Neale Patrick and Josh Thomas Brown continue their second-row partnership, whilst Freddie Clarke makes his first start of the season at blindside flanker alongside the returning Chris Walker. Mark Bright captains the side from number eight, with six tries to his name already in the 15/16 campaign.
In the back-line, Matt Heeks starts at scrum-half, replacing the injured Russell Weir. Joe Marchant moves to the left wing to make way for Drew Locke at outside centre, who missed the loss to Cornish Pirates through injury.
On the bench, David Cherry, Kurt Schonert and Matt Shields will provide front-row options, with Rory Bartle and Kieran Treadwell also named amongst the replacements. Ben Calder offers a scrum-half alternative, with Lee Millar looking to make his second consecutive appearance from the bench.
Head Coach Peter Richards said: “Nottingham had a big win over London Welsh last weekend so will be full of confidence when they arrive at the Athletic Ground.
“We had been on a good run of form with four wins before the loss to Pirates and will be looking for a response tomorrow night.”
