Samoan international winger Josh Tatupu broke his ankle in last week’s 24-21 defeat at Northampton so Fijian star Sireli Naqelevuki - on as a 49th minute replacement last week - starts in the centre and Irishman Ian Whitten switches to the wing.

The other change sees James Hanks return in the second row at the expense of Aly Muldowney, who begins  on the bench.

Jack Nowell and Carl Rimmer will make their first Premiership appearances if introduced from the replacements bench.

Starting 15 Luke Arscott 14 Ian Whitten 13 Sireli Naqelevuki 12 Phil Dollman 11 Matt Jess 10 Ignacio Mieres 9 Will Chudley 1 Brett Sturgess 2 Chris Whitehead 3 Craig Mitchell 4 Tom Hayes (capt) 5 James Hanks 6 Tom Johnson 7 James Scaysbrook 8 Richard Baxter
