In a re-run of last season’s final, Blues will be looking to follow up on a successful trip back in April – when they secured a first ever away victory in Worcestershire.
Rayer has a few injury concerns to contend with ahead of the season opener, making two changes to the Starting XV which began the final pre-season fixture against Bath last weekend.
There are three Champ Rugby debutants set to make an impact off the bench, including Freddie St John who will also make his first appearance for the club and become Blues Brother #3868.
