NEW WARRIORS signings Ben Te’o and Jackson Willison are set for their Aviva Premiership debuts against Saracens tomorrow at Twickenham in the London Double Header.
Head coach Carl Hogg also hands a start to scrum-half Jonny Arr, who is set for his first competitive appearance in eight months after returning from injury.
Ryan Lamb is given the nod at fly-half, while Te’o and Wynand Olivier will form the midfield partnership.
Dean Hammond will also make his first competitive start since January, with Cooper Vuna on the opposite wing and Willison slotting in at full-back.
In the forwards, Nick Schonert returns to the front row while GJ van Velze skippers the side from the back row.
Academy product Christian Scotland-Williamson is named on the bench and could make his first competitive appearance since September 2014.
