Thursday 19 September 2024Written by: Mark Smith   Newcastle Falcons have named their team for Friday’s Gallagher Premiership season at home to Bristol Bears. The Kingston Park clash is a 7.45pm kick-off and sees starting debuts for summer signings Connor Doherty (pictured) and Sammy Arnold in the centres, and Tom Gordon at open-side.   Scrum-half Joe Davis is poised to make his first team bow from the bench at the age of just 18, with the Co. Durham native impressing during pre-season after graduating from Barnard Castle School.

Prop Luan de Bruin is also in line for his Falcons debut having been named among the replacements, while captain Callum Chick plays his 100th Premiership game.

Summer arrival Cameron Neild misses out after breaking his arm in the Falcons’ only pre-season outing, with fellow signing Kieran Wilkinson also sidelined by an MCL injury picked up in the 40-39 loss at Sale Sharks.
