Jersey seek to unseat high-flying
Rotherham
 
A reshuffled back-line is the main feature of the Jersey squad for
the Greene King IPA Championship clash with Rotherham at Clifton
Lane on Saturday (k-o 2pm).

Aaron Penberthy starts at full-back, while Grant Pointer switches
to the centre to partner Drew Locke, with Mark McCrea switching to
right wing.

The pack has a more settled appearance, with just one change from
the unit who started against Plymouth last Saturday: Dave Felton
comes in at hooker in place of Elvis Taione.

Jersey's bench includes young hooker Luke Stratford, who could
make his Championship debut, and former Rotherham scrum-half Jimmy
Williams.

/*STOP PRESS, SATURDAY 10AM*/

A calf injury has forced David Bishop out of the Jersey
squad for today's match.

Bishop's place among the Jersey replacements is taken by the
experienced Mark Foster, who first played against Titans in a
Premiership match at Millmoor in 2004 when wearing the colours of
Gloucester. Foster, 30, also played against Rotherham during his
stints with Moseley and Exeter Chiefs.
