Darren will take up the full back position in defensive situations while Rudd will use his power when we are on the attack.
Henry Tones will be at flanker, with the front row unchanged from the one which made England Under 21 James Isaacson look ordinary at Mowden last week. Dan Wright starts in place of the suspended Chocky Davies in the second row.
West: Rudd, Thomas, Kerr, Thompson, Hodgson, Connolly [capt], Tighe, Cholmondeley, Cullinane, Cook, Webb, Wright, Tones, Sawyer, Bennett. Reps: Baggs, Robinson, McNeish.
