Director of Rugby Lyn Jones has made eight changes to his starting line up including lock Rob Sidoli starring as the captain for his second Amlin Challenge Cup match.

 

Dan Evans moves into the fullback position after missing the Mogliano game as Hallam Amos moves across to the wing. Will Harries then keeps his position as open side wing and the centre pairing, Adam Hughes and Ross Wardle, remains the same. Kris Burton and Jonathan Evans move to the bench to make way for Richie Rees and Jason Tovey.

 

The front row see two changes with Hugh Gustafson coming in as hooker and Dan Way as tight head prop. Matthew Screech keeps his place alongside Rob Sidoli in the second row and Netani Talei, Lewis Evans and Toby Faletau make up the back row.

 

The bench takes on a different form with Andrew Coombs returning from injury. He sits alongside youngster Elliot Dee, Phil Price, Francisco Chaparro, Jevon Groves, Jonathan Evans, Kris Burton and Lewis Robling.
