JORDAN REYNOLDS is forced into reshuffling his backline for this Saturday’s game in National 3 London and South East against Chichester away.

In the absence of new fly-half Glen Walters, who hurt a thigh in the win over East Grinstead last week, captain Blair Campbell will take over the No. 10 shirt while Malcolm Barnes will move to inside centre and Dale Rutledge will come in at scrum half, having come on on the wing last weekend.

Meanwhile, in the pack Tom Ceillam returns at hooker and Nick Barton is fit to take a spot on the bench, which can only be good news.

After gaining promotion from London One last season, Chichester have won both their games so far this campaign, beating London Irish Wild Geese 21-16 and then CS Rugby 1863 43-18.

The purely domestic attractions this weekend see a visit from Cherbourg with friendly matches for the Colts at 11.45am followed by the Vets on the old Footes Lane pitch on Saturday morning.

And if that is not enough to satisfy your appetite for live rugby then you could go along to KGV and give our old adversaries St Jacques a cheer as they play their historic first ever Hampshire Solent League game against Andover, kick of at 1.30pm on Saturday.

GUERNSEY TEAM
Sharrott, Ceillam, L. Batiste, Craine, Merrien, Smith, Le Cocq, Thomas, Rutledge, Campbell, Barnes, J. Batiste, Goude, Davison, Whitehead.
Replacements: Bellingham, Choules, Barton
