DINGS name their team for the first visit of Esher to Shaftesbury Park on Saturday. The back division has a familiar look to it, with Luke Arscott, Jordan Grattan and Tom Hargam making up the back-three, while the tried and trusted midfield partnership of Matt Smith and Marcus Brooker again linking up in the centre.

Steve Plummer returns to the side at outside-half and is partnered by exciting young scrum-half Blake Boyland, who is set to make his Dings debut.

Anton Welling captains the side from blindside flanker, and he is joined in the loose forwards by Alex Bilton and Sam Graham, who packs down at No 8 for the royal blue & blacks.

Crusaders’ stalwart Josh Lloyd is listed among the replacements, and is set to make his 350th appearance for the club on Saturday, if called upon to do so. Bradley Harwood, Tom Knight, Ollie Millner and Ian Clark are also set to make an impression from the bench.
