Alex Corbisiero returns to the front row for Irish

London Irish will field their strongest available team for Saturday's European Challenge Cup match against Rovigo.

Having rested several players for their EDF Cup game against Worcester, coach Toby Booth reverts to most of the team that beat Sale in the Premiership.

Peter Hewat starts at fly-half, with Delon Armitage at full-back and Seilala Mapusua in the centre.

Bob Casey captains from the second row and Shane Geraghty continues his return from injury on the bench.

Casey told BBC Radio Berkshire: "Last time in the Heineken Cup we started with a bonus-point win against Treviso and it's important we do the same this weekend.

"We don't have much footage of them, we just have reports of what they might be like. So we have to focus on ourselves.

"We like the under-dogs tag, but the culture of the club has to change. I really believe and the other guys and the coaches all believe that we're a top team.

"We have to get used to that and that other teams will see us like that."
