YANN Thomas returns to Cinderford' s starting XV for the home match with Cambridge on Saturday (2.30pm). He starts in the front-row with Tom Bozzard and Tom Heard. Joe Smart is on the bench but Chris Bundy is not in the squad.

Scrum-half Danny Pointon makes his return to Cinderford on the bench.

Director of rugby Andy Deacon said: "Suddenly we have competition for places throughout the squad with people coming back from injury as well.

"Training has been slicker this week, we did not drop balls, players were encouraging each other, guys trained with a smile on their face.

"Going away to Barking and getting that win shows there is nothing stopping us from continuing this good form. It has empowered the guys to say 'we can do it, we are good enough'."

Team v Cambridge: Mike Wilcox, Lloyd Stapleton, Dewi Scourfield, Simeon James, Rob Winchle, Rory Teague, Ben Draper, Yann Thomas, Tom Bozzard, Tom Heard, Ben West, Ed King, Chris McNeil, Will Foden, Adam Nicholls (capt).

Replacements: Joe Smart, Lee Fortey, George Evans, Danny Pointon, Kai Done.
