London Scottish will be looking to build on their promising start to 2019 after winning three of their four games since the turn of the year.
The Scots welcome Bedford Blues to the RAG this weekend. Supporters will be hoping for another strong performance like the one the exiles put in at Goldington Road earlier in the season when they won 26-23.
Head Coach Nic Rouse has only made two changes to his starting XV as Jimmy Litchfield comes in at tighthead after an impressive display from the bench against Jersey Reds. Phil Cringle slides down to the replacements.
The other change comes on the wing as Miles Mantella drops down to the bench in place of Jack Wilson who comes in on loan from Bath. The rest of the side is unchanged from last week’s win across the Channel.
Mark Bright returns on the bench after missing last week’s game. There is also a spot amongst the replacements for London Irish scrum half Rory Brand, who last featured against Doncaster Knights in October.
