WINGER Nick Humphries, who scored two tries as a replacement in the 49-12 victory over London Scottish last week, is included in the starting line-up for Oxford University's rugby union match against Northampton at Iffley Road tonight (7.30).
Humphries comes in for Simon Danielli, who is suffering from a neck injury. The only other change sees John Bothwell, who is in need of game, replacing Adam Reuben at prop.
Nathan Ashley's excellent display against Scottish sealed his place in his preferred position of centre, while Irishman Richard Governey retains his place at fly half.
"We are on a high after the win against Scottish, but the team will be out to prove that it was not a one-off," said coach Steve Hill
The best known player in Northampton's ine-up is winger Harvey Thorneycroft.
