Caio James has been released from Wales U20s camp to start in the back row, alongside Albert Tuisue and Archie McArthur, who moves from his usual position in the front row.
Charlie Chapman and Charlie Atkinson combine as half-backs, with Max Knight and Will Butler in midfield. Butler captains the side for the first time.
In the back three, full back George Barton is flanked by Jake Morris and Louis Hillman-Cooper on the wings.
Oscar Rees and Rio Ebanks, two members of the Gloucester Rugby Academy U18s squad, are called up into the senior squad for the fixture.
They're joined on the bench by Morgan Nelson, Toti & Jono Benz-Salomon, Olly Allport, Morgan Adderly-Jones and Jack Cotgreave.
