Toulon are at full strength as they look to clinch a place in the quarter-finals of the Amlin Challenge Cup with a win over Castres.
Jonny Wilkinson is at fly-half in a back-line that doesn't include a single French player. Sonny Bill Williams starts at outside centre.
There are plenty of players from overseas in the home side's pack too, including Englishman Kris Chesney in the second row.
The former Saracens forward will be alongside Argentinean Esteban Lozada, while Georgian Davit Kubriashvili and New Zealander Saimone Taumoepeau are either side of French hooker Sebastian Bruno in the front row.
Toulon currently sit just a point clear of Sarries in a tight battle to win Pool Three, meaning a bonus-point victory is needed to make sure of top spot.
Although they are already out of the running for the knockout stages, Castres have named a strong line-up for the all-French fixture.
The Top 14 high-flyers lost the reverse fixture on home soil, one of three defeats they have suffered in five European outings this season.
