Full back Harry Warman, wings Hayden Newman and Andy Lacy, fly half Alex Stevenson, prop Jonathan Hall, lock Michael Forde and No 8 Julian Watkins all start on the south coast.
Captain Jamie Cope is injured, so lock Andy Boyle leads the side.

Liam Gilbert, who has rejoined, starts at blindside flanker, while former Quins man Frank Jones is a replacement.
Jack Shaylor replaces Joe Southwell (knee) on the right wing as Henley Hawks host Taunton in National 2 South.
Dave Clements comes in for Tom Evans at lock, while former captain Matt Payne and prop Jim Hadfield are on the bench.
