The Cornwall team shows a few changes from the quarter-final win against Kent. In the front row Redruth’s Jack Hodge starts, whilst Dan Reed comes into the second row to partner Dan Goldsmith. Ollie Andrews moves to No.8 with skipper Torin Clarke switching to blindside in place of Camborne’s Tian Clark. In the backs Noah Nash starts at scrum-half with James Tucker remaining at fly-half after a good showing in the previous round. The powerful Declan Matthews returns at inside centre in place of Jake Penprase who returns to the wing whilst Dan Hubble reverts to the bench. On the bench Aden Brassington returns as does Luke Barnes and Tom Osborne.

Both sides are sure to be up for this game with a Twickenham appearance on 6^th May the prize.

The Cornish boys will be hoping for a big crowd at Camborne on Sunday. Be there and cheer the boys on as they give their all to reach the Final.
