SKIPPER Alfie To’oala’s suspension and continuing run of injuries has led to Chinnor making numerous changes for their National 2 South match at home to Launceston tomorrow.

Inspirational No 8 To’oala is banned for one match one the ‘totting-up’ procedure after receiving a yellow card in their 18-14 defeat away to Southend Saxons last week.

His absence allows James Tyas, a recent recruit from Worcester, to make his first team debut at No 6 in a reshaped back row.

Matt Williams, Chinnor’s director of rugby, is excited by Tyas’s potential.

“We’ve got James on an 18-month deal and he looks to me like a class act. I’m looking forward to seeing him play,” he said.

Two further casualties were added to Chinnor’s lengthening injury list this week.

Hooker Dean Booker was knocked out during the Southend game, while fly half Sam Angell broke a thumb in training. Joe Pickett comes into the front row, while Ed Keohane returns to the stand-off berth he occupied earlier this season.

Henley Hawks welcome back talented scrum half Connor Murphy for their match at home to Clifton.

Murphy has been out since suffering a leg injury in the victory over Lydney at the start of the month.

With Piers O’Conor and George Eastwell unavailable Jake Randall moves to full back, and his place on the wing goes to Xavier Andre.

Oxford Harlequins make two changes to the back row for their South West 3 clash at home to Newton Abbot.

Blindside flanker Richard Battson returns after injury and Jonathan Miller is back to open side flanker.
