LCpl Mikey McDonald (RE) is in the Germany squad as they try to kick-start their Rugby Europe Championship campaign in Belgium tomorrow (6pm).
The scrum-half, who helped the Engineers retain the Jones-Drake Cannonball against the Royal Artillery on Wednesday, will feature for the fourth consecutive game, Germany aiming for a first win in the tournament having gone down to Georgia (28-17), Spain (27-5) and Netherlands (39-13) in their opening three games.
On the domestic front, Gnr Senitiki Nayalo (7 PARA RHA) starts at No. 8 for Coventry in their Championship trip to second-placed Doncaster Knights (2.30pm).
The Midlanders moved back up to third with a 34-6 home success against Ampthill last time out and will look to seal another win which would keep them climbing higher.
Sgt Matt Dawson (Int Corps) is again on the bench for Cambridge as they head to Hartpury College for a floodlit tussle this evening (7.45pm).
