No 8 Gnr Senitiki Nayalo (7 Para RHA) retains his place in the back row as Coventry face arguably the toughest test in English Championship rugby when they travel to Ealing Trailfinders tomorrow (2.30pm).
The Fijian returned to action during last weekend’s tremendous 51-7 success against Doncaster Knights, playing 57 minutes as the Midlanders climbed to fourth in the early-season standings.
And he stays in situ at the base of the scrum alongside former England ace Matt Kvesic and Tom Ball, Coventry making just one change to their side for the trip to the unbeaten table-toppers.
Last season’s runners-up Ealing, the favourites for the title, have begun the campaign in outstanding form, racking up 182 points in their four matches having previously qualified for the semi-finals of the Premiership Rugby Cup by winning Pool D.
In doing so, they took the scalps of two top-flights sides in the shape of Northampton Saints (48-22) and Bristol Bears (28-12).
