NORTH Midlands 18-Group Schools have made seven changes to their starting line-up for their final game of the season against Staffordshire at Droit-wich Rugby Club tonight (7.30pm).

A number of North Midlands players have already done enough to impress the Midlands selectors ahead of the Divisional Trial at Loughborough GS on December 7 and so the county selectors have given other players their chance to shine.

Tom Scaysbrook, the younger brother of Bath and England Under-21 flanker James, and Daniel Antonelli will have their first start of the campaign as the regular half-back pairing of James Metcalfe and James Fouracre have been rested.

Chris Pennell, Alex White, Ollie Rodgers, Dale Garner, Jack Braniff and James Collins are the other changes to the side that defeated Warwickshire on November 17.

North Midlands will be attempting to end their season unbeaten having already inflicted defeats on Warwickshire, Notts, Lincs & Derbyshire and Leicestershire.
