Matt Williams names his side for round seven of National League 1

MATT Marley will make his first start in a Chinnor shirt when Rotherham Titans visit Kingsey Road tomorrow.

The flanker is one of six changes, two positional, as the Thame-based side bid to make it three wins in a row in National League 1.

Scrum-half Jake Ashby and centre Danny Barnes return to the squad, while Caolan Ryan is handed his first start of the season.

Summer-signing Marley, who is also part of the Colts coaching set-up, impressed when making his debut from the bench in last week’s victory at Cinderford.

The former London Scottish forward starts at openside flanker in place of captain Carl Kirwan in the only change in the pack.

Tom Fidler, Nick Selway and Josh McNulty continue in the front row, with Ben Thomas and Cameron Gray at lock.

Ofisa Treviranus starts at blindside flanker and Willie Ryan at No 8.

Director of rugby Matt Williams has made five changes in the backs.

Ashby comes in for Will Flinn, with Laurence May resuming at fly-half.

Chinnor were forced into an early reshuffle at Cinderford after outside centre Pete Laverick suffered a head injury in the first minute.

Caolan Ryan shone when coming on at full-back and is rewarded with a start, while Will Harries is on the right wing after beginning last week's game at 15.

Jason Worrall, who will captain the side, was moved to 13 and is partnered in the midfield by Barnes, who comes in for Chris Elder, while Josh Hodson keep his place on the left wing.

Dan Southworth, Luc Jeannot, Ehize Ehizode, Ben Manning and Laverick make up the bench.
