The Saints welcome back Dylan Hartley and Tom Wood back into the team after both missed last Saturday’s clash. Also back for the trip to Sixways are wing Ken Pisi (Samoa) and lock Samu Manoa (USA), who have both been away with their respective national teams over the past two weekends.
With Ben Foden ruled out with a knee injury, James Wilson picking up a knock in training, and Kahn Fotuali’i and Jamie Elliott both carrying injuries, Glenn Dickson wears 15 with Dom Waldouck coming into the centres.
Junior World Championship winner Tom Stephenson comes onto the bench to cover the outside backs for a potential Aviva Premiership debut, along with Vasily Artemyev, another international absentee.
