Championship XV Head Coach Martin Haag has named his team to face Canada at Sixways on Sunday (kick-off 3.15pm).
Warriors duo James Percival and Ryan Bower both start for the side while Jonny Arr is named on the bench.
A pacey back three includes London Scottish’s Miles Mantella, Rotherham’s Michael Keating and Bristol’s Jack Tovey as the side look to test Canada, who will take on Ireland, Italy, France and Romania at next year’s World Cup.
A Moseley centre partnership sees Greg King and Will Owen link-up, while Plymouth Albion’s Lawrence Rayner starts at fly-half. Cornish Pirates’ Tom Kessell is given the nod at number-nine.
Tom Cruse and Michael Holford partner Bower in the front-row with Darren Barry alongside skipper Percival in the second-row.
Marco Mama and Nick Fenton-Wells accompany the Greene King IPA Championship’s top tryscorer Mark Bright in the back-row.
There is a late change for the Championship XV with Nottingham’s Dan Mugford making an early exit due to injury, being replaced by Cornish Pirates fly-half Keiran Hallet.
Head Coach Haag said: “We’re obviously disappointed to have lost Dan, but as ever with these things, player welfare is priority.
“We’re very grateful to Pirates for making Keiran available at such short notice. He is a quality player and will be a huge asset off the bench.”
Meanwhile Canada have selected a strong side as they prepare for next year’s Rugby World Cup, which includes Bedford Blues’ James Pritchard, Tyler Hotson (Doncaster Knights) and Brett Buekeboom and Andrew Tiedemann of Plymouth Albion.
