Saracens have tweaked their pack for the must-win clash with Leinster at Wembley Stadium.
Having lost out to Clermont last time out, Sarries know they need a win at home against the 2009 champions to keep alive their hopes.
As a result, Mouritz Botha and Ernst Joubert come back into the side with Hugh Vyvyan and Kelly Brown missing out.
Scotland international Brown is named on the bench, where he is joined by Hayden Smith.
Leinster will have to make do without the mercurial Brian O'Driscoll for the trip to London.
