Both sides have made fine starts to the campaign, amassing 23 points from the opening six rounds of Champ Rugby, and being separated by just a +15 points differential. Read all the key information with our Online Programme available by clicking here.
It took until the 80th minute for the two sides to be separated in their last meeting back in May, with this just the eighth occasion of the two doing battle. An average of 40+ points in previous history and another entertaining game is in store to warm up the supporters in attendance.
After a strong showing last time out, Rayer sticks with the majority of his Starting XV that ground out a bonus point in a sodden London last week, making just two changes in the forwards pack.
Ilan Evans partners Rory Ward in the second row on the occasion of his first start in club colours, while Tui Uru is also included from the off to help compose an imposing back row.
Among the replacements, Cardiff youngster Joe Cowell is set to become Blues Brother #3857 having joined on short term injury cover. Blues would like to thank Cardiff for their support in allowing Cowell to head across to Goldington Road.

15. Louis James, 14. Ryan Hutler, 13. George Worth, 12. Lucas Titherington, 11. Dean Adamson, 10. Will Maisey, 9. Alex Day (C); 1. Jamie Jack, 2. Tommy Herman, 3. Oisin Heffernan, 4. Ilan Evans, 5. Rory Ward, 6. Fred Tuilagi, 7. Kayde Sylvester, 8. Tui Uru
