Thomas Waldrom returns to the Leicester Tigers line-up for their LV= Cup clash against the Scarlets, in Llanelli ,tomorrow.
Waldrom joined up with Tigers this week after being released from the England squad and he starts at No.8.
He is one of four changes to the starting line-up from last week's bonus-point win over London Wasps.
Harry Wells is handed a start in the second row in place of Tom Price, who was stretchered off after 30 minutes of his debut last weekend.
There is no place in the squad for Tom Croft, who was replaced 10 minutes into his return to Welford Road last weekend after 10 months on the side-lines with a career-threatening neck injury, after suffering a bang on the back.
Brett Deacon captains the side and moves to flanker to replace him.
Matt Cornwall also starts in his second senior game since returning to the club last summer.
Elsewhere, Micky Young comes in at scrum-half in place of Sam Harrison while George Chuter starts at hooker instead of Rob Hawkins. Harrison and Hawkins both drop to the bench.
The Tigers bench receives a huge boost in the form of club captain Geordan Murphy, who is named among the replacements after recovering from a knee injury.
There is also a place in the squad for young flanker George Oliver and academy second-rower Matt Hubbart.
