Ansbro, a two-time winner of the Varsity Match with Cambridge and graduate of the Saints Senior Academy, will partner Grant Anderson in the centres as the Wanderers host their old rivals from Welford Road.

Other starters include Johnny Howard, who moved to within three appearances of 100 at London Welsh on Saturday, and Junior Saints Academy forward Owen Giles, who starts on the blindside flank. John Brake is back from England Sevens duty and Joe Gray, who spent last week in Portugal with England U20, returns to a somewhat chillier climate on the bench.

Tonight's match kicks off at 7pm. The Saints Rugby Store in the Franklin's will stay open this evening until kick-off.

If you still have your Carol Concert programme you can claim a free match ticket from the Saints Ticket Office before 5pm today. Entry is also free to all season ticket holders and £5 (adults) / £2 (juniors) for non-season ticket holders.
