Andrei Radoi goes back into the team after he helped take Romania to the brink of qualification for Rugby World Cup 2015 in recent weeks and the hooker will pack-down between props Conor Carey and Ryan Storer.

There is one change in the back-line from the team who lost to Leeds Carnegie last time out, where Tom Bedford (left) comes in at centre for Chris Kinloch.
