Maddison boost for Titans
BARNEY Maddison returns to Rotherham Titans' team tonight — but he remains several weeks away from coming into the reckoning for a regular starting jersey.
The second row has been out for several months with a cruciate ligament injury but the next step in his long rehabilitation process will be a cameo appearance in the British and Irish Cup tie at Ulster.
Maddison is expected to play for the last quarter of the game and, if he comes through unscathed, will then be eased back into full match fitness, possibly including a loan stint.
Tom Cruse returns from injury at hooker in a strong Rotherham team which includes Zylon McGaffin at scrum-half and Sean Scanlon on the right wing with Lloyd Hayes retaining the full-back jersey.
