Hamid will start on the wing following his return from injury whilst the afternoon will be of particular importance for Owen. The lock, signed last season following his superb form for the lavender and blacks, will walk out to face the club he supported as a boy.

Mackenzie Duncan starts on the bench, after he has been showing great form for clifton in recent weeks. Deago Bailey featured in the historic win over South Africa on Thursday night after making his premiership debut against Saracens a week earlier.
