Danny Brown has named his 20 man squad to face Cambridge tomorrow. The squad sees the return of scrum half Maia Gibbs who makes his first start of the season following an injury layoff. The New Zealander joins Brett Connon in a strong half back pairing, with Garry Law and Ben Frankland starting outside them in the centres. The only change in the outside backs sees Shaun McCartney rotate in for Callum Mackenzie, joining Adam Radwan and Grant Connon who keep their places from last week.

In the pack, Jordon Poole returns for his first start of 2018, forming a powerful front row alongside Adam Brocklebank and Jack Payne. Talite Vaioleti comes in to the second row, joining Dan Preston-Routledge. Dave Fisher continues his run of starts at 6, with Joe Craggs and Ollie Hodgson returning to round off the starting 15.

Amongst the replacements there is a welcome return for Rory Duff, who provides forward cover along with Ralph Appleby and Alfie Barron. Warren Seals and Callum Mackenzie will provide further firepower from the bench.

Mowden's DOR Brown was pleased to welcome back a number of key players: "It's great to have Maia involved after a long injury layoff, and he'll bring something different for us at 9. He comes in for Matt Dudman who is out with a minor niggle. We've rotated our squad in the backs with Brett Connon and Shaun McCartney coming in for Warren Seals and Callum Mackenzie who start on the bench."

"Adam Brocklebank comes in at loosehead after an impressive display last week and it's good to have Jordon Poole back after a number of games for Yorkshire Carnegie. We've had a couple of minor knocks to Jake Brady and Matt Heaton but it's great to have the strength of squad to bring in the likes of Talite Vaioleti and Joe Craggs. It's good to have our captain Ollie Hodgson back after a minor niggle as well, and Rory Duff who's been training really well in recent weeks."
