GNR Senitiki Nayalo (7 Para RHA) will make his first Championship start of the season when he dons the No. 8 jersey for Coventry in their home game with unbeaten Doncaster Knights this afternoon (3pm).

He is joined in the back row by former England international Matt Kvesic as the hosts look to return to winning ways following their shock 34-24 reverse at Ampthill a fortnight ago.

Also in the starting line-up is fly-half Pat Pellegrini, who scored a memorable try for Tonga against champions South Africa in the World Cup.

Nayalo played a key hand for Coventry in their impressive Premiership Rugby Cup campaign at the start of the season, featuring in the stunning 28-14 victory against Saracens, the 21-21 and 33-33 draws with Harlequins and Nottingham and also the nail-biting 32-31 reverse at Gloucester as his side finished third in Pool A.
