First start for Beeckmans, and another start for Finn Baker. Potential debut for 18 year old backrow George Bolam. 20 year old Reuben Parsons takes the captains armband.

Flyhalf at fullback and centre at 10 for NRB. Bit odd, might be some moving around in that backline. Suspect it could be another battering for them Vs Sarries.

Very good to see the Saracens youngsters getting a run. Likewise a couple in NRB colours. Quite a statement making a 20 year old with very limited experience captain.

Good to see some of the Newcastle Falcons youngsters getting a run for Saracens too.
