Scrumhalf Mike Phillips comes into the starting XV, as the only change to the backline, with Jonathan Evans sidelined with an ankle injury. 

Openside flank James Davies makes a long-awaited return to action after recovering from shoulder surgery and comes straight back into the starting line-up, following the news that he has extended his stay in West Wales. 

Will Boyde moves across the backline to No.8 with Josh Macleod moving to the replacements bench.

There is just one change in the Cheetahs team for the clash.

Craig Barry will be replacing Luther Obi on the right wing. 

Obi broke his arm in the match against Edinburgh. Sibhale Maxwane will be providing cover on the bench and making his Cheetah and Pro14 debut when he sets foot to field.
