Youngs and Charlie Atkinson are the starting half-backs, with the fly-half named for his first starting appearance at Mattioli Woods Welford Road.

Charlie Clare, Nephi Leatigaga, Harry Wells, Olly Cracknell and Richard Wigglesworth, who featured in the opening game of the European campaign, are joined by Freddie Burns and Chris Ashton on the bench.
