Captain John Connaughton returns from a knee injury to lead Oxford Cavaliers against Bristol Sonics tomorrow (2pm, Oxford RFC).

Australian stand off Ben Bushby is also in the squad, along with brothers Mario and Johnno Da Silva.

The Cavaliers are attempting to avenge the 30-28 defeat they suffered at Bristol earlier this month.

Connaughton said: “We’ve played some pretty good rugby at times this season, but need to do it on a regular basis.”
