Saracens v Racing Metro - Heineken Cup match preview

Juan Martin Hernandez: Named at full-back by Racing Metro

Owen Farrell: Will start in the centres for Saracens

England ace Owen Farrell returns to the Saracens line-up for the historic Heineken Cup clash against Racing Metro on Saturday.

Saracens are the first club to stage a European match in Brussels - with Farrell coming in as one of four changes.

Winger Chris Wyles, who will make his 100th appearance for Saracens, and scrum-half Neil de Kock also come into the pack.

Up front, there is just the one alteration following the 45-0 rout of Edinburgh - with Rhys Gill preferred at loosehead prop.

Mako Vunipola, Joel Tomkins, Richard Wigglesworth and David Strettle drop to the bench, where they are joined by Alistair Hargreaves and Carlos Nieto.

Racing have recalled Juan Martin Hernandez after the Argentina star missed last week's victory over Munster.

Hernandez starts at full-back, with Benjamin Fall moving to the wing alongside Juan Imhoff.

There is another change in the pack where Bernard le Roux is preferred over Masinivanua Matadigo.
