TEAM NEWS: Knights named to travel to Bedford on Friday night

30th October 2025

Darren Fearn and Sir Ian McGeechan have named their squad to travel to Bedford tomorrow night. 

Minimal changes to the squad this week, particularly with the starting forwards pack. Ehize Ehizode returns to the starting team to replace Josh Williams, who shifts to the bench. Our front row remains the same, Conor Davidson, George Roberts and Joe Jones. 

Morgan Jones is the second row beside Ehizode, with Rhys Tait, Ben Murphy (C) and Jasper McGuire the back row behind them. 

Ben Chapman keeps the replacement hooker shirt after making a big impact last week against Worcester. Andrew Turner and Logovi’i Mulipola remain the replacement props with East Timor Viliamu returning to the squad to cover the back row. 

Our half backs remain unchanged as Ollie Fox and Russell Bennett wear 9 and 10. The centre partnership also stays the same, Connor Edwards and Zach Kerr. 

The only change in the back three is a straight swap of the twins – Ryan Olowofela comes in to replace Jordan Olowofela at 11. Linking up with Telusa Veainu at full back and Semesa Rokoduguni on the other wing. 

Will Wootton and Morgan Bunting are the replacement half backs, with Joe Margetts the utility back on the bench.
