Richmond return to The Athletic Ground for the final Friday Night Lights game of the season in a blockbuster event against Rams. With the league title within reach, Richmond need all five points to secure their lead for the title race. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the boys are ready to rise to the occasion.

Rams, sitting 4th in the table, are no strangers to drama and physicality, and they’ll be looking to spoil the party. The last meeting between these two sides was a tight, low-scoring battle in harsh winter conditions. This time, the forecast is on our side - warm, dry, and just a touch of wind, creating the perfect atmosphere for fast-paced, expansive rugby.

As captain Alex Schwarz rallies the team for the penultimate home game, vice-captain Jake Monson will be leading the charge in the forward pack, ensuring Richmond dominate at the breakdown. Behind them, top points scorer, Callum Grieve will be orchestrating play from flyhalf, aiming to ignite the backline and keep the scoreboard ticking.

Rams’ captain Max Hayman is coming off a standout performance in their 30-19 win over Rotherham Titans. The hooker led from the front with a try, a 100% tackle rate, four dominant carries, three defenders beaten, and a clean line break. Expect Hayman to be a key figure in Rams’ efforts to challenge Richmond.

With everything on the line for Richmond and a determined Rams wanting to make their mark, it promises to be a battle from start to finish. Join us for one last unforgettable night under the lights!
