| British Lion Dafydd James plays in the centre and captains the team, while Tal Selley returns after sevens duty with the national side, and Barry Davies is selected at full back. Fly-half Mike Hercus wears the No.10 shirt.
In the pack, club stalwarts Martyn Madden and Chris Wyatt get their first starts of the season, while skipper Simon Easterby is rested after the back-to-back tussles with London Wasps.
Jenkins said: “This is a hugely important period of the season and a defining block of rugby. The games between now and early January will no doubt dictate, define and determine where we stand in the Celtic League”.
