Hooker Joe Richardson will start for Coventry in their Championship match against Jersey Reds at the Stade Santander International on Saturday with back-row forward Caleb Montgomery on the bench for Cornish Pirates against Ampthill at Dillingham Park.
Meanwhile three members of the Three Pears Warriors Academy – flanker Jack Forsythe, centre Seb Atkinson and hooker Finn Theobald-Thomas – will be involved in a North v South Under-20s trial match at St George’s Park in Burton.
