Coventry Rugby Club were given a lift to day when high-scoring fly-half Steve Gough declared himself fit for the trip to lowly Wakefield.

The stand-off, a close season signing from Fylde, has missed the last two games with a shoulder injury but his kicking strength will be welcomed back.

And Cov are also able to recall centre Mick Curtis and back row man Lee Crofts – both of whom would have missed last week’s game against Bedford had it not been postponed.

That cup game will now be played on Wednesday night with the winners likely to meet Leicester, who should overcome Rugby Lions.
