TEAM NEWS – Knights to face Bedford Blues

4th April 2025

Here are your Doncaster Knights to face Bedford Blues at Castle Park on tomorrow! There are a handful of changes to this weekend’s team due to a big group of players returning to the squad. 

Jordan Olowofela returns from injury to slot back in on the wing, with Semesa Rokoduguni returning from Army duty to make up the opposite wing. Telusa Veainu keeps his spot at full back. Last weekend’s loan debutant Obi Ene, moves to the bench. 

Fly Half Russell Bennett shifts into the starting line up to join scrum half Alex Dolly. Morgan Bunting and Ollie Fox are the half back replacements. 

Our centre partnership remains the same with both ex Newcastle Flacons, Wacokecoke and Kerr. Hear what Wacokecoke had to say ahead of the game here:

Conor Davidson comes in to the starting front row, moving Logovi’i Mulipola to tighthead. George Roberts keeps the number 2 shirt after scoring our first try last weekend. Adam Hopkinson moves from the back row to join captain Ben Murphy in the second row.
