Last action hero Dominic Feau'nati is rewarded for his try-scoring exploits against London Wasps with a starting spot in the derby clash with Gloucester at Kingsholm tomorrow (6pm).
Samoan international Feau'nati scored a stunning late try to help Warriors earn their first points of the season against European champions Wasps last weekend.
And now Director of Rugby Mike Ruddock has handed him the inside centre spot in place of Mark Tucker for the televised trip to the home of the Cherry and Whites.
Ruddock makes three changes in total to his starting line-up with Ryan Powell named at scrum half with namesake Matt moving to the replacements bench.
Back row star Drew Hickey also returns after injury at flanker in place of Tom Wood.
Meanwhile, Gloucester see the return of World Cup winner centre Mike Tindall after recovering from a broken leg sustained last season, however, Lesley Vainikolo is out with a neck injury.
