For the opening game of the season the Wanderers give league debuts to Matt Trowbridge, Mazin Al-Azzawi and Iuean Dobbs who have all figured prominently in the unbeaten pre season fixtures.
Youth product Ryan Healey, who burst into the first XV at the end of last season, starts on the wing and he is joined out wide by Steve Cullen who missed a lot of last season through injury.
Scott Sneddon, last season’s top Premiership scorer starts at outside half and there is a return to the squad for Harry Trelawney who missed all last season with an injury.
