The winger, who topped the scoring charts for the Club last season, takes his place on the right wing in a back three that includes Darren Atkins and Matt Banahan.

Ben Tapuai comes in at number 12 for the trip to Swansea and will feature in the centre alongside Max Clark, a try scorer in last weekend’s 31-34 victory over Bristol.

Rhys Priestland and Chris Cook line up at fly-half and scrum-half respectively in the half-back combination.

Nick Auterac and Jack Walker, who both made their comebacks from injury against Bristol, once again start in the front row alongside Kane Palma-Newport.

Captain Matt Garvey switches from the back row to form an experienced second row with Luke Charteris.

In the back row, Zach Mercer and Guy Mercer operate at blindside and openside flanker respectively, with Paul Grant at number eight.

Amongst the replacements, Tom Dunn and Levi Douglas return to the squad after injury.
