BOURNVILLE have made three changes to the pack for Saturday’s Regional One Midlands match against Banbury at Bodicote Park (3pm).
Scott Rudge starts at loosehead prop and Ben Rhodes at hooker, swapping places with Clarkson McLeod and Jamie Harding who will be used as impact players off the bench this week.
Jonjo Fanning, who was unavailable for the victory over Lutterworth two weeks ago, returns to the side on the blindside flank with Kieran Henderson switching to the back row to partner captain Ben Meakin.
The back division is unchanged with wing Nathan Decalmer still sidelined by the knee injury he sustained against Dudley Kingswinford.
Bourns head to Banbury for the first time in almost 16 years looking to complete a double following a 54-17 victory at Avery Fields earlier in the season.
Bourns are eight points clear of Newport who host Bridgnorth at Forton Road on Saturday before travelling to Avery Fields for a potential title decider on March 28.
