DMP make 4 changes for tomorrow's big game against Blackheath (2pm Kick Off).

Danny Brown has named his 20 man squad for tomorrow's key National One game against Blackheath. There are a total of 4 changes to the starting 15 who beat Old Elthamians last week in a nailbiting affair at College Meadow. The only change in the pack sees Ralph Appleby return at tighthead in the place of Jack Payne, who has been called up by the Falcons. Appleby starts alongside Alfie Barron and Chris Wood, both of whom scored tries in last weekend's win. Jake Brady and Talite Vaioleti continue their pairing at lock, with an unchanged back row of Fisher, Craggs and Hodgson rounding off the pack.

There are a number of changes in a reshuffled back line. Matt Dudman returns from a minor to start at 9, in a half back pairing with Warren Seals who moves from 12 to 10. Garry Law returns to start at inside centre alongside Grant Connon who starts outside him. Callum Mackenzie and Adam Radwan keep their places on the wing, while there is a first start for Cameron Cowell at full back.

Amongst the replacements there is a return for prop Adam Brocklebank who provides forwards cover along with Dan Preston-Routledge. Brett Connon and Ben Frankland rotate to start from the bench along with Shaun McCartney.

Mowden's Director of Rugby was pleased with his squad going into a vital stage of the season: "It's great that we're able to reshuffle the starting 15 and keep the squad fresh ahead of a tough run of fixtures. February is a big month for us with a series of tough games, we'll have a good idea of where we're at by the end of the month."
