Leicester Tigers will travel to face derby rivals Northampton Saints on Saturday with all six of their England World Cup contingent available to play.
Ellis Genge and Dan Cole come into the front row for the trip to Franklin’s Gardens after their involvement in Japan.
It will be Cole’s first match since the World Cup final where weaknesses in England’s scrum were exploited by world champions South Africa.
The match, the 244th meeting between the rivals, marks 28 days since the World Cup final in Yokohama and sees the Tigers’ backline also heavily bolstered.
Ben Youngs, George Ford, Manu Tuilagi and Jonny May all start for Geordan Murphy.
Tuilagi is partnership in the centres by Jaco Taute, who starts in the Premiership for the first time.
Northampton Saints head into the match holding the upper hand in recent contests, winning five of the last six.
Director of rugby Chris Boyd has also named a strong side for the sold-out match.
Co-captains Alex Waller and Teimana Harrison start in the pack, with the latter joined in the back row by Lewis Ludlam and Tom Wood.
England World Cup lock Courtney Lawes also ends his rest period to start alongside Alex Moon.
In the only changes to the backline, George Furbank and Taqele Naiyarovaro are named as starters in the back three.
