In the front row, the inclusion of Dominic Robertson-McCoy is the only change from last weekend. The tight head prop lines up alongside experienced hooker Tom McCartney and Denis Buckley at loose head.
 
In the backrow, Colby Fainga’a comes in at blindside with Jarrad Butler at open side and Paul Boyle in his now familiar number 8 jersey.
