The team having been announced at lunchtime today it became clear that the selectors have altered the make up of the side to take account of the amount of injuries the squad has sustained.
That has meant that Charlie Beech starts in the front row, the versatile newcomer, Paulos Latu comes in the second row and Hull’s former back row man Evi Uriburu returns to the pack.
With Joe Barratt at scrum half Matiu Welch gets a run at full back with Duell Trueman going on the subs bench along with second row man Kym Russell, prop Joji Volaikisuva and utility back David Davison.
Hull will be looking to get out of the blocks early and it will be interesting to see how the side manages with this new line up.
