Scott Rawlings will be playing for Lancashire in the second leg of their tie against Yorkshire. The Red Roses head to Hull Ionians knowing a win will send them to Twickenham.

A little closer to home Oli Powell and Joe Byrne start for Staffordshire as they welcome North Midlands to Stafford’s BlackBerry Lane for a 2pm kick off.

Tom Hayes, Will Midwinter and Alex Fitzmaurice-James are among the replacements at the disposal of coaches Andy Appleyard and Joel Booth as the county side look to back up their win last week and take a big step towards HQ themselves.
