TEAM NEWS | Four changes for Nottingham

Posted: 7th April 2022
 

Mike Rayer has named his squad as Bedford Blues begin their Championship Cup journey under the Friday Night Lights away at Nottingham (KO 7:45pm).

Tickets are still available direct from our hosts; click here to join us at Lady Bay.

A traditional rugby fixture between two historic clubs, there has been 106 previous meetings across the past 130 years, and with the last meeting taking place just six weeks ago, both sides will know plenty about the other come matchday.

Ahead of tomorrow’s fixture, Rayer makes four changes compared to the side which began the final league fixture at London Scottish last month with two alterations in the forwards pack and two in the backs division.

Among the replacements, we welcome loosehead prop Leroy O’Neil into the #BluesFamily on dual registration from Northampton Saints.
