In the backs Mike Stephens, last week’s try scorer, retains his place at full back after coming on as a sub and Charlie Johnson returns to the centre after missing last week’s game through injury.

Up front Alex Bourne comes in as open-side flanker and Ross Grimstone gets his first start at hooker. Rhodri Dawes and Sean Carroll also join the squad for the first time.

“We must find a way to compete at every aspect of the game, at present we are not putting together complete performances,” commented Wanderers head coach Chris Ower before the visit of Newbridge.

“Newbridge will be smarting after their defeat at home last week. They will be keen to get back to winning ways. We must gain parity up front, if we are to have any chance,” added forwards coach Matthew Bolton.
