Club captain Flood is back in action after missing the last two league games due to injury and takes the No12 shirt after Dan Bowden was ruled out by fractures to cheekbone and eye-socket during the match against Sale Sharks last Saturday. Anthony Allen is still on his way back to full fitness after a calf muscle injury.
Miles Benjamin returns on the wing, Jordan Crane starts at No8 and former Bath hooker Rob Hawkins is included in the squad for the first time this season on his recovery from injury.
