In the pack, Marc Mühlemann and Aidan Devane return having missed last week. We also get the first glimpse of Sam Fombo and Hudson in a 'Combe shirt, who were also unavailable against Wimbledon.
Luke Murphy-Wooldridge, Elliot Roofe, Gary Brett, and Jordan Dehaarte complete the starting pack.

Calum Harris, who joined up with the squad this week, will add resource to the forward pack from the bench alongside Travis James, Josh Smith and Ollie Colegate, who returns after missing Wimbledon.

Out wide we get a first look at Kieran Thompson, making his first ‘Combe start against his former club, with fellow newcomers Toby Wallace and Joe Radcliff completing the back three.

In the midfield Rob White and James Burton start in the centres with Matt Harrison and Ben Fryatt starting in the half backs. Sam Rhodes starts from the bench.

Unfortunately, we will have to wait a little longer to see new signing Todd Bailey and talismanic No.8 Nick Cook who are both recovering from injuries picked up in pre-season. Rafael Dutta, Kwesi Williams and fellow newcomer Michael Dunnett picked up knocks this week and all miss out through injury.

KK Orelaja, Brad Bateup, Fred Lowe, Connor Ryan and Jacob Buckley are also unavailable for this game.
