Rhys Charalambous and Ricky Cano pack down wither side of Bertie Stretch whilst Harper forms a physical second row with Joe Owen. Brad Talbot remains at 8 as Tom Wilson and Dan Broady occupy the flanks, following Max Woodwards injury last week which rules him out till the end of the season.

Blake Boyland and Luke Cozens remain at half backs, with powerful centre Owen joining Marcus Nel in the centres, who once again captains the side. The back three sees Zak Ward at full back, Alex Howman on the right and Zak Hamid returns on the left.

Aaron Thompson, Alex Giltrow join Kieran Hill and Bears duo Mackenzie Duncan and Paddy Pearce on the bench.

"We have had to make some tough calls this week, there have naturally been some boys who are disappointed to miss out. But we have spoken about the 20 involved paying their respects to the boys not selected by putting in a performance this weekend. These are the games we play for, it is going to be one hell of a game and occasion and we are relishing it this weekend."
