There are five changes to the team that started against Exeter Chiefs last weekend.

Tom Williams has recovered from a hip injury and starts on the right wing, while Danny Care returns at scrum-half. Among the forwards Joe Marler comes in at loose head, with Rob Buchanan making his first start of the season at hooker where he replaces Joe Gray who is having treatment to an injury which will prevent him playing for a number of weeks. Gray's injury status will be updated following a Specialist's opinion.

Maurie Fa'asavalu returns to the starting line up with captain, Chris Robshaw and Nick Easter completing the back row.

Among the replacements, Dave Ward will look to make his first senior appearance, while Ben Botica and Seb Stegmann provide cover for the backs.
