Champ Rugby returns after a break week with old friends Hartpury University visiting The Olney Field.
The Mob have used the rest week for a reset as they look to return to winning ways at home.
Head Coach Dave Ward makes seven changes to the side that played Coventry two weeks ago.
Harrison Courtney retains the loosehead shirt with Seb Smith again at hooker, whilst Premiership winner James Johnston returns at tighthead to add some experience to a young scrum. Olamide Sodeke returns to the Mob after England A duties and is partnered by Samoan Tatoa Auvaa in the engine room. In the back row, Charles Rylands returns to captain the side after missing two games, Tongan talisman Tino Mapapalangi wears six with Charlie West in eight.
Ward names a familiar half back pairing with Coventry try-scorer Efan Jones at scrum half and player-coach Louis Grimoldby inside him. Tongan Sione Va’enuku starts at inside centre this week with top try-scorer Oscar Wilson outside him in midfield. Seva Kava returns on the wing, with Sam Kildunne on get right and Josh Barton reverting to his now familiar full back position in a back three that will look to control territory and nullify the Hartpury kicking game.
