Northampton Saints v Bristol Bears: Full team news
Saints have opted to name close to their strongest possible side for Saturday evening's Gallagher Premiership game against Bristol Bears at cinch Stadium at Franklin's Gardens (kick-off 5.30pm).
However, four names have been added to the lengthening injury list, with Tom Pearson, Iakopo Mapu, Charlie Savala and Burger Odendaal all ruled out after last Friday's brutal battle with Newcastle Falcons.
George Furbank is not on the injury list but he will not be risked against Bristol.
That means James Ramm returns to start at full-back after having to withdraw on the day of the game last weekend due to a neck problem.
Fraser Dingwall skippers the side from centre, with Tom Litchfield and Tommy Freeman on the wings.
Fin Smith has been passed fit after taking a bang to the knee at Newcastle, and Alex Mitchell is back at scrum-half after coming off the bench last Friday.
Pearson, Mapu, Savala and Odendaal join Sam Graham, George Hendy, George Makepeace-Cubitt, Archie McParland, Toby Thame, Ollie Sleightholme and Robbie Smith on the not considered for selection list.
Steven Luatua will make his 150th competitive appearance for Bristol this weekend.
Luatua joins the returning Santiago Grondona in the back row, with skipper Fitz Harding switching to No.8.
In the second row, Josh Caulfield and Joe Owen start in place of the injured Joe Batley and James Dun, while Harry Thacker starts at hooker.
Pat Lam names an unchanged backline from the one that started in the defeat to Leicester Tigers last weekend, while on the bench, Jimmy Williams returns to action.
