Darlington Mowden Park have named their 20 man squad for tomorrow’s National One fixture against Taunton Titans. The DMP starting lineup includes 5 changes to the side who started against Rosslyn Park last time out.

Two of those changes come in the front row, where Max Fraine and Eoin Harrison come in to join Alfie Barron. Oscar Usher and Adam Scott continue in the second row, with an unchanged back row of Charlie Smith, Joe Craggs and Yaree Fantini completing the pack.

In the backs Garry Law comes in to start at 10, with Callum Pascoe captaining the side from scrum half. Ewan Greenlaw and Ben Frankland continue their partnership in the centres, with Henry Hadfield starting on the wing once again. There’s a welcome return for Phil Graham who starts on the opposite wing, with Liam Checksfield coming back into the side at full back.

One the bench there’s a potential 50th league appearance for Carl Guest, who provides forward cover alongside Matty Siddle, Sam Kyle-Clay and Ryan Gibson. Harry Rickard offers options across the backline to complete the matchday 20.
