Back row ace Kai Horstmann returns from injury as Warriors travel to Romania to launch their bid for European Challenge Cup glory against Bucuresti (2pm kick-off local time).
Horstmann missed the cup victory over former club Harlequins last weekend with a knee injury but has been passed fit to return in the Pool 2 clash and replace Netani Talei who misses out through injury.
Young star Chris Pennell is named in the starting line-up at full back with Samoa international Loki Crichton moving to inside centre where he replaces the rested Dale Rasmussen.
Shane Drahm is rewarded for his inspired second half performance for Warriors in the Guinness A League victory over Leicester Tigers on Monday night with a recall at fly half.
Front row Matt Mullan, who captained Warriors to victory over Tigers, is selected on the bench alongside Joe Carlisle.
