ROB Elloway has returned to the Cornish Pirates side for their clash on Friday night against Bedford Blues.

The hooker had gone on loan to Aviva Premiership side London Welsh but has been recalled to the Mennaye after injuries hit the front row.

He is one of six changes made to the starting line-up from their last outing on March 8 when they lost 28-10 at home to Rotherham.

The other alterations see Mike Pope, Alex Dancer, Laurence May, Alan Paver and Matt Bolwell come into the XV in place of Max Bodilly, Tom Hendrickson, Kieran Hallett, Jamal Ford-Robinson and Will Carrick Smith.

Winger Craig Holland will make his 50th appearance for the side.
