The front row will be anchored by Aaron O’Callaghan, Rob Higgins, and Nathan Cox, bringing power and stability to the scrum. In the second row, Ollie Plunkett and Bradley Davies will provide the engine to drive Crawley forward, while the back row trio of Joao Sousa, Joe Bozcek, and Harry Hickmet add dynamism and control.

Pulling the strings at scrum-half and fly-half are the ever-reliable Callum Hankin and Vinny Dessena, with Connor Kelly and Ben Wright ready to create opportunities in the centres. The back three of Dillip Thayagaraja, Kai Marshall, and fullback Kris Dean offer a combination of pace, power, and precision to exploit any gaps in the Ditchling defence.

On the Bench

Crawley’s depth is equally impressive, with Joel Fisher, Anthony Dartnell, and Joshua Laviol ready making their impact when called upon.

What to Watch
Keep an eye on the set-piece battle, where Crawley’s forwards will be looking to dominate, and the creativity of the backline to unlock Ditchling’s defence.
