DINGS make sweeping changes to their starting line-up for the trip to Worthing Raiders (14:00 kick-off). Jordan Grattan switches from wing to full-back with Ian Clark moving to the bench. Grattan’s wing birth will be filled by Brad Doggett who will make his first run on start for the royal blue & blacks. Captain Steve Plummer reverts to his more familiar position of scrum-half, allowing Sam Perry the opportunity to make his Dings first-team debut at fly-half.

In the pack, Josh Lloyd trades places with James Hall, who moves to the replacements bench, while hooker Tom Anderson moves from the bench into the starting XV. Locks Gavin Curry and Shek Sheriff are unavailable, and are replaced by Tom Knight and George Nowell. Stean Williams failed a fitness test and is replaced by Michele Canulli in the back-row. Hooker James Jackson is set to make his Dings first-team debut, if called from the bench.
