TEAM NEWS: RETURN OF THE MAX

CAPTAIN Max Hayman makes his first appearance of the National One season as Rams host Camborne tomorrow (3pm).

The hooker – who has 81 tries in 112 first-team outings – suffered a broken foot nine days before the start of the season.

And after a lengthy and frustrating wait, he is now back to lead the Berkshire Boys against in-form Camborne.

Hayman is one of just two changes to the starting line-up which went down 35-21 at table-toppers Plymouth Albion last week.

He is therefore sandwiched by Ant Marris and Ryan Lomas in the front row.

Ryan Cozens’ concussion means Dan Swain switches to the engine room alongside Player of the Week Liam Saayman.

Tull starts in back row

Aaron Tull, who impressed off the bench on his return from injury in Plymouth, starts at open-side flanker.

Ben Atkins is on the other side of the back row with No. 8 Willo Bicknell completing the pack.

The three-quarters, meanwhile, are unchanged from The Brickfields.

This means Matt Wickham and Ross McKay continue their half-back combination born in Round Two, while Isaac Tokura and Matt Blee have started the past two games in midfield.

Henry Kirwan and Zach Clow are the two wings, with full-back Connor Burns – excellent on his first start – rounding out the side.

Top try-scorer Pete Austin drops to the bench with Hayman returning, the Army ace’s double taking him to six for the season to date.

Props Paddy Harris and Sam Stirling are ready to make an impact, with Rams electing for a 4-1 bench split against Town.

This means Bath loanee Alex Ridgway, who scored the opener in the last home game against Leeds Tykes, is included.

Scrum-half Jack Mapletoft, who made his debut at Albion six days ago, finishes off the 20-man squad.

Rams name three Travelling Reserves in case of any unexpected last-minute hitches.

They are versatile front row Max Marshall, Ollie Stirling – who can play lock or across the back row – and fit-again centurion centre Ellis Jones.

The latter was Player of the Month for September.

A big crowd is expected for the first-ever clash between the sides tomorrow, so supporters are advised to book early.
