TEAMNEWS | Bedford Blues, Round 10

19th January 2024

A few words on this week’s team selection as the Knights take on Bedford Blues in Round 10 of the RFU Championship.

“We are excited to see the new half back partnership of Billy McBryde and Ollie Fox play together. Russell Bennett back into the team at 12, which shows our positive intent of wanting to move the ball around. Jack Metcalf starts at fullback after doing well off the bench last week. Fyn Brown took a knock and not quite fit for this week. Sam Olver has had a scan and will require an operation unfortunately, so he’s going to be out for some time. Archie Smeaton, Rhys Tait and Jack Digby together in the back row will give the team loads of energy.”
