Jason White is scheduled for the replacements bench should he pass a fitness test for his first time in the matchday 22 this season.
Sebastien Chabal will again captain the side in the absence of Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe.

Team Mathew Tait, Mark Cueto, Luke McAlister, Lee Thomas, Rory Lamont, Charlie Hodgson, Dwayne Peel, Andrew Sheridan, Sebastien Bruno, Eifion Roberts, Chris Jones, Dean Schofield, Kristian Ormsby, Luke Abraham, Sebastien Chabal

Replacements: Neil Briggs, Stuart Turner, Sean Cox, Jason White, Richard Wigglesworth, Chris Bell, Oriol Ripol

Director of Rugby Philippe Saint Andre said, “This is another tough game for us. Bristol have had two tough opening games against Bath and Harlequins and will be keen to get their season up and running tomorrow.
Last week we won the game against a very disciplined Saracens team and I am looking for the same type of performance tomorrow. We have defended well so far this season and it is important we continue to be mean at the back.”
