TEAM NEWS: Bristol Rugby vs London Scottish

Mitch Eadie returns to the starting line-up when Bristol face London Scottish on Friday evening (7.45pm KO).

The back rower – who is available following a six-week ban – is the only change from the side that overcame Scarlets Premiership Select last weekend.

Andy Robinson keeps faith in the majority of the team that secured a nine-try victory, as David Lemi continues to skipper the side ahead of the Ashton Gate clash.

Marc Jones is selected among the replacements after recovering from a hip injury, while James Phillips could make his fiftieth competitive appearance for the club if he features on Friday.

Rayn Smid (ankle) and Gareth Maule (hamstring) are unavailable for selection and join Ben Glynn (shoulder), Olly Robinson (ankle), Ian Evans (knee) and Dwayne Peel (shoulder) on the sidelines.

Bristol Rugby team to face London Scottish at Ashton Gate on Friday, 27 November (7.45pm KO):

Jack Wallace; Tom Varndell, Jack Tovey, Gavin Henson, David Lemi (c); Matthew Morgan, Will Cliff; Jack O’Connell, Chris Brooker, Anthony Perenise, Joe Joyce, Mark Sorenson, Nick Koster, Jack Lam, Mitch Eadie.

Replacements: Marc Jones, Kyle Traynor, Gaston Cortes, Glen Townson, James Phillips, Craig Hampson, Adrian Jarvis.
