Elsewhere in the back division, Lome Fa'atau returns to the right wing as fullback Bernardo Stortoni, centres Max Evans and Graeme Morrison and winger Thom Evans all retain their places from last weekend.
With Eric Milligan coming off injured during yesterday's back-up fixture and Fergus Thomson continuing his rehabilitation from a shoulder operation, the Warriors' Canadian international Kevin Tkachuk will act as replacement hooker if necessary.
For this Friday's game only, up to four under 18s can go free with a paying adult (adult ticket price £15). Also, to celebrate freshers' week in the city, two students can take in the game for only a tenner (normally £10 each)!
