COLTS Sam Knott and Charlie Morris-Mean have been given the nod as Bournemouth look to dent the imperious home record of Old Centralians.

Lions will this afternoon (3pm) attempt to become the first team to win a league match at Painswick Road since league leaders Redingensians triumphed in Gloucester back in October.

Knott comes in at lock ahead of Matt Warwick, while Morris-Mean will line up as open-side flanker.

Full-back Grant Hancox (work commitments) is unavailable so Alex Sutherland switches across with Anthony Fitch drafted in as right-wing. Jo Burns replaces the unavailable Josh Terry at loose-head prop.

Meanwhile, number-eight Joe Rees was last week awarded his first XV tie having racked up 50 senior appearances inside two years.

Lions: Sutherland, Fitch, Higgins, Chislett, Roberts, Gwyther, Hardcastle, Burns, Manning, Firetto, Knott, Scott, Hennings, Morris-Mean, Rees. Replacements: Bellamy, Benham, Warwick.
