Team News: Bristol Rugby Vs Moseley
Moseley visit the Memorial Stadium in rearranged fixture
Liam Middleton sticks with the same side as announced for the original fixture, as Bristol play host to Moseley in the rearranged game at the Memorial Stadium on Sunday (3pm KO).
The game was initially scheduled to be played last Friday, but heavy frost resulted in all RFU Championship fixtures being postponed.
The Head Coach includes four of his new signings in the 22-man squad. Henry Vanderglas is handed a full first-team debut and Matthew Jones and dual-registered prop Mark Lilley are named among the replacements.
Luke Eves returns to the Bristol line-up for the first time since his move from Newcastle, partnering the prolific Fautua Otto in midfield.
In the backline, Will Helu and Jon Goodridge make way for Eves and Sean Marsden respectively.
Mariano Sambucetti is preferred to Glen Townson in the second row, while Marco Mama and Dan Montagu replace James Merriman and Josh Ovens.
In the absence of Grieve and Merriman, scrum-half Ruki Tipuna will captain the side.
