Taulava, fresh from his try scoring heroics off the bench against London Irish, will join Blair Cowan and Neil Best in a powerful back row while Gillies and Nile Dacres are paired at lock.

Carlisle is named at half back with Ollie Frost while Jon O’Donnell is handed a first start on the wing as he continues a trial period at the club.
