Sanft reclaims his place at fly-half for the Pirates (Pic: Brian Tempest)

Mark Hewitt makes eight changes to his side as he bids to get an improved performance after the narrow win at bottom club Manchester last week.

Only full-back Marika Vakacegu and winger Brian Tuohy survive in the backs as Aisea Hevili, Doug Sanft, Paul Devlin, Ed Fairhurst and Tom Luke play.

Prop Dan Seal, flanker Chris Morgan and hooker Rob Elloway also get recalls.

Captain Adryan Winnan is back on the bench after being declared unfit to travel last week.
