Henderson, having recovered from a nasty mouth injury he received against Llanelli two weeks ago, takes over from Mike Mullins in the centre, where he will be partnered by Shaun Payne, who switches from the wing position he occupied in Glasgow.

John Kelly retains his place on the wing, having come on as a replacement centre for James Storey in Scotland.
