Martin Corry returns to lead Leicester Tigers into the EDF Energy Cup Final against the Ospreys at Twickenham on Sunday.
The Tigers captain sat out the victory at Sale Sharks in the Guinness Premiership on Good Friday, but he is now welcomed back by head coach Pat Howard with the first silverware of the season up for grabs.
Fellow England men Harry Ellis, George Chuter and Julian White are also included in the starting XV after missing last week's league game.
Sam Vesty, who kicked the winning penalty in injury time against the Sharks, is at full-back after covering at centre and fly-half in his last outing.
Tom Varndell and members' player of the season Alesana Tuilagi are named on the wings for Sunday, with Daryl Gibson and Dan Hipkiss teaming up at centre.
Paul Burke, who has started three of the previous four games in the EDF Energy Cup this season, gets the nod at fly-half, with Ellis wearing the No.9 shirt.
Martin Castrogiovanni is at loosehead in the absence of the suspended Marcos Ayerza, with Chuter and White making up an all-international front row. Leo Cullen and Ben Kay join forces at lock, while Corry is joined by Tom Croft and Shane Jennings in the back row.
