Coach Mark McCall has named an unchanged back line from that which defeated The Borders, while up front Rod Moore is drafted in to the starting XV with Simon Best switching to loose-head and Ronan McCormack dropping to the bench.

Gavin Pfister replaces Neil Best, who will be out of rugby for six weeks having sustained a broken jaw against The Borders.
