The Blues head into the game looking to build on their impressive display against Rotherham Titans last weekend in which Mike Rayer’s side won their first game of 2017 36-21 thanks to tries from Elliot Clements-Hill, Ollie Dodge, Ben Adams, Jordan Burns and Piers O’Conor.

The task ahead is a huge one though, as Ealing maintain their charge for a top four finish and are yet to taste defeat to Bedford in three games this season thanks to two wins and a draw.

The Blues make three changes to the starting line-up from last weekend with Howard Packman, Billy Walker and Will Carrick-Smith all coming in to the team in place of Pat Tapley, Ben Cooper and Byron Hodge respectively.
