It’s a little quiet for Americas fans in the RFU Championship but there are still seven players to keep an eye on. The first is on Friday’s lone game as Nottingham host league-leaders London Irish at Lady Bay. Canada’s Shane O’Leary will be looking to spoil the Irish luck.
Five games on Saturday start on the Channel Island of Jersey. New Canada call-up Justin Blanchet will start on the blindside for visiting Bedford. The Blues will be without Eagles flyhalf Will Hooley due to an undisclosed injury.
Nick Civetta starts for Doncaster Knights in their road game against Hartpury. His Eagles second row mate Ben Landry will line up on the blindside flank for Ealing Trailfinders as they host London Scottish at Vallis Way.
Two Canadians and an Argentine suit up for Cornish Pirates at Coventry. Brett Beukeboom captains the side with Javier Rojas getting a rare start at flyhalf. Matt Evans is named on the bench.
