By Blues Brother
November 13 2014
Nils Mordt will be in the squad which takes on the might of Yorkshire at Goldington Road on Friday night in our first home game for a month ..
The Sarries fly half, and Sevens specialist, is on loan and will provide cover from the bench for a squad hit by injuries and call-ups.
It's a big game for both sides - a veritable eight pointer. The side brave enough to annoy every other club in the County - by ditching the Leeds name for one which covers all the Ridings - is level on points with the Blues.
We make two changes with skipper Nick Fenton-Wells back and Charlie Clare in the front row. Jared Saunders and Josh Buggea will be on the bench.
Blues: 15. Jim Wigglesworth 14. Pat Tapley 13. Ollie Dodge 12. Viliami Hakalo 11. Dean Adamson 10. Jake Sharp 9. Darryl Veenendaal 1. Camilo Parilli-Ocampo
2. Charlie Clare 3. Phil Boulton 4. Mike Howard 5. Paul Tupai 6. Justin Blanchet 7. Nick Fenton-Wells (capt), 8. Joe Vandermolen
Reps: Jared Saunders, Tom Williams, Ben Gulliver, Josh Buggea, Peter White, Nils Mordt, Henry Staff
Carnegie make five changes to the side which lost 6-0 to Doncaster in the Cup last week Rob Vickerman returns in the centre and David Doherty on the wing with youngster Matt Dudman getting his chance to impress at scrum half.
In the pack Eighteen year old hooker Jack Walker will start his first game while Lee Imiolek replaces Ben Harris at loose head prop.
Carnegie: 15 Jonah Holmes 14 Christian Georgiou 13 Rob Vickerman 12 Jon Clarke 11 David Doherty 10 Harry Leonard 9 Matt Dudman 1 Lee Imiolek 2 Jack Walker 3 James Tideswell 4 Nathan Hannay 5 Matt Smith 6 Jarad Williams 7 Chris Walker 8 Ryan Burrows (capt)
Reps: Phil Nilsen, Ben Harris, Paul Hill, Liam Edwards, Jack Barnard, Chris Pilgrim, Oli Goss

If you find yourself feeling depressed about the ?inevitably gloomy tone of postings here, try the Yorkshire Carnegie message board. They make us look like incurable optimists!
Yorkshire Carnegie Head Coach Gary Mercer has made five changes to his side for the trip to Bedford Blues this Friday, kick off 7.45pm.
Three of the changes come in the back line with Rob Vickerman returning to replace Pete Lucock, David Doherty overcoming injury to return in place of David McIlwaine and youngster Matt Dudman getting his chance to impress at scrum half.
The other two changes come in the pack. Eighteen year old hooker Jack Walker will start his first game in the Greene King IPA Championship having featured off the bench last week against Rotherham whilst Lee Imiolek replaces Ben Harris at loose head prop.
On the bench, Walker's England U20 team mate Paul Hill could make his first appearance in the Greene King IPA Championship whilst Phil Nilsen and Oli Goss also return to the squad.
