Dane Gagai returns from quad soreness to replace the suspended Jake Mamo at fullback.
Pauli Pauli replaces Sione Mata’utia in the second row, while Sam Matora returns to the starting line-up in place of the injured Robbie Rochow (pec tendon).
Jacob Saifiti, Mickey Paea and David Bhana are added to a five-man bench, with the loss also of Daniel Saifiti to a one-match suspension.
