Reece Dunn, Alex Morgan and Jacob Morris make up a pacey back three, with captain Tom Seabrook linking up with Henry Purdy in the centres. Dom Coetzer and Charlie Chapman will be pulling the strings at half back.

Up front, Paddy McAllister makes a welcome return to the field from injury, as he joins Joe Mullis and Jack Bartlett.

Exciting young lock Alex Craig is paired with guest player Shek Sheriff in the second row, with fellow guest Lewis Ellis-Jones joined in the back row by Aaron Hinkley and Cameron Terry.
