Wharfedale, forced into a change by Andy Hodgson’s rib injury, have made two other adjustments, albeit important ones, to their starting line-up for the visit of sixth-placed Blackheath on Saturday in SSE National League One.

England Sevens flanker Aaron Myers, who has been coming off the bench since his return from the Dubai Sevens, changes places with Dan Solomi, and hooker Steve Graham starts in place of Ben Sowrey.

Dan Hart moves from full back to centre, with Luke Gray returning at full back.

Blackheath lie in sixth place, due mainly to a fine home record, which includes a 27-24 win over Wharfedale last September.

Away from home they have won three and lost six, their last victory coming in mid-October.

Wharfedale (home to Blackheath): L Gray; S Jordan, D Hart, T Davidson, S Horsfall; W Bell, P Woodhead; T McGee, S Graham, N Dickinson, R Brown, J Quinn, J Holland, R Baldwin, A Myers. Replacements: J Altham, B Sowrey, R Rhodes, D Solomi, T Barrett.
