Saracens have a side packed with international experience as they take on Viadana at Vicarage Road on Saturday.
Alan Gaffney's Saracens side beat Glasgow in their Heineken Cup opener before losing a thriller against Biarritz when they went down 22-21 in France.
Sarries will have nearly 300 caps in their starting XV on Saturday, with new arrival Chris Jack adding to that experience as the big All Black makes his debut.
Brent Russell is included while Glen Jackson, Andy Farrell, Richard Hill, Hugh Vyvyan and captain Neil de Kock all return to the starting line-up.
Saracens will be big favourites for the match having won their last five Heineken Cup home games, while they are in good form after booking their place in the EDF Energy Cup semi-finals last weekend.
