Fresh thinking from Rae as Cov look for platform
Coventry Telegraph
|November 01, 2025
ANOTHER crucial match-up for Coventry Rugby rolls around today as they head out on the road to take on Richmond.
Cov head coach Alex Rae
The loss to Ealing showcased both the promise and potential within Coventry's game - their dynamic attacking structures shone brightly, while a few areas in discipline and defence offered valuable lessons to build on moving forward.
Cov head coach, Alex Rae, will be looking to firm up the side as they head to Richmond for a tie that could become a platform for the rest of November and the wider season.
With this in mind, Rae has enlisted four rotations to keep the team fresh and ready for the next challenge. In the front row, Toby Trinder, Jordon Poole and Eliot Salt - making his 50th appearance for Cov - will be looking to firm up a frontline that struggled against the league leaders.
