TEAM NEWS: Knights to face Chinnor on Friday night

19th February 2026

Darren Fearn and Sir Ian McGeechan have named their team to face Chinnor at Kinsey Road tomorrow night.

Cole Keith comes into the front row to start at tighthead, alongside loosehead Conor Davidson and hooker Ben Chapman.

In the second row, captain Ben Murphy partners Morgan Jones once again, with an unchanged back row behind them: East Timor Vilimau and Rhys Tait on the flanks, and Jasper McGuire at number eight.

The backline is unchanged for the fourth week running, with Dolly and Bennett at half-back and Edwards and Margetts in the centres. Zach Kerr and Ryan Olowofela take up the wings, while Telusa Veainu remains at full-back.

On the bench, we opt for a 6/2 split. Fred Davies is the replacement hooker, alongside props Conor Davidson and Ethan Hulme, with Ehize Ehizode, Josh Bainbridge and Adam Hopkinson the remaining forward options. Scrum-half Ollie Fox returns from injury to take his place among the replacements, along with utility back, Matt McNab.
