Club captain Ruairi Cushion reclaims the number 9 jersey, with Paul Rowley dropping to the bench.

In the front row Max Crumpton who came on as a replacement last week, starts at hooker and there is a recall for prop Tom Harrison. There is a welcome return for Canadian international Brett Beukeboom in the second row.
