CAMBORNE’S superb depth will be put to the test tomorrow as they visit Rams looking to build on their seven-match winning run in National League One.

Bar a defeat at home to leaders Plymouth Albion on the second weekend, the Cherry and Whites have the rest of their eight fixtures, racking up plenty of points in the process.

However, they head to Berkshire without several players for various reasons.

Canada lock Barnaby Waddell remains on international duty with Canada, Alex Ducker is out for much of the season with a broken jaw suffered at Dings Crusaders and lock George Smith has yet to recover from an injury suffered in training before last weekend’s emphatic 10-try victory over Bishop’s Stortford.

In that fixture, outside-centre Joel Matavesi and influential No.8 Herbie Stupple both picked up injuries, while prop Tommy-Lee Southworth is unavailable having been amongst the replacements last time out.

It means the chance for some on the fringes in recent weeks to stake their claim, while Scottish prop Craig Davidson and back-row Harrison Bennetts could make their debuts off the bench.

From last weekend’s starting XV there is just one change in the pack as with Stupple unavailable, skipper Sam Matavesi, who plays for Fiji as a hooker, moves from openside-flanker to the base of the scrum. Jordan Nicholls, who was on the bench last weekend, comes in

Powerhouses Jack Andrew and Jon Drew line up either side of veteran try-machine Ben Priddey in the front row with Adam Hughes and Jago Sheppard just behind them.

Barnaby Elderkin is on the blindside with Nicholls and Sam Matavesi behind them.

The half-back partnership of in-form duo Dan Roderick and Fraser Honey unsurprisingly remains, but with Joel Matavesi out, Irishman Ben Power switches to outside-centre from the wing which gives veteran Matt Shepherd another chance on the right wing.

Last Saturday’s man-of-the-match Frankie Nowell is on the left flank with exciting youngster Oli Roberts again at 15.

From last week’s five-man bench, only prop Ben Woodmansey and scrum-half CJ Boyce remain.

Fellow prop Davidson will hope for a National League One debut having joined over the summer, as will local boy Bennetts who graduated from the club’s Colts system over the summer. Versatile former Taunton back Jay Toogood also returns to the matchday 20.

It’s also a huge day at the Recreation Ground tomorrow (2pm) in Counties One Western West as the seconds host their Redruth counterparts for the first time ever in a league fixture. Camborne haven’t lost yet, while Redruth have been slightly up and down.

The Cherry and Whites include the likes of Dec Prowse and Sam Rodman in the front row, former Red Luke Barnes who left their neighbours over the summer, and Belgian winger Robin Wedlake who is back from injury.

CAMBORNE: Oli Roberts; Matt Shepherd, Ben Power, Josh Matavesi, Frankie Nowell; Fraser Honey, Dan Roderick; Jack Andrew, Ben Priddey, Jon Drew; Adam Hughes, Jago Sheppard; Barnaby Elderkin, Jordan Nicholls, Sam Matavesi. Replacements: Craig Davidson, Ben Woodmansey, Harrison Bennetts, CJ Boyce, Jay Toogood.
