The former Bristol Bear wears the number eight shirt where he joins captain Matt Kvesic and Tim Anstee in the back row.

John Hawkins and Tom Savage start again in the second row, with the front row also unchanged as Billy Keast, Austin Wallis and Fraser Balmain all start.

In the backline, Will Lane and Will Reed partner each other once again in the half-back shirts.

Tom Seabrook wears 12 and partners Alfie Garside in the centres, who came off the bench against Hartpury.

Matt Everard’s makes chamges on both wings with Bassett making his first appearance of the season and Juan Gonzalez coming in from the start, joining Louis Brown at full-back.

On the bench, Lloyd Williams returns to the matchday squad after missing the Hartpury game through injury.

Also returning are Livai Natave and Tiff Eden, who feature in a matchday squad for the first time this season, with Jack Dickinson, Ashley Challenger, Owain Evans, James Cherry and Jake Garside completing the side.
