George North, Christian Day and Lee Dickson all come into the starting line-up having recovered from their various knocks. Meanwhile George Pisi, Kahn Fotuali’i, Samu Manoa and Tom Wood all drop to the replacements’ bench, replaced by James Wilson, Dickson, James Craig and Phil Dowson respectively.
Elsewhere in the team Mike Haywood comes in for Ross McMillan at hooker, who has picked up a shoulder knock and misses out. McMillan’s absence from the squad means that loanee hooker Koree Britton could make an appearance from the bench, where he is named alongside Alex Corbisiero.
