Loose-head prop Max Marshall has been included in the past six first-team matchday squads and is joined by hooker Harry Bicknell and George Breese in the front row .
Second row Paddy Jackson, fresh from his first two Level Three starts, is partnered by Will Burrows in the engine room.
The flankers are Reading University man Jacob Kyte and two-time Colts’ league-winning skipper Aaron Preston.
Seb Burgess, impressive for the Development XV over Christmas, completes the pack at No. 8.
Power and pace among three-quarters
Regular first-teamers Ollie Hodgson and stand-off Andrew Lamb will look to get the three-quarters flowing under the lights.
The powerful duo of Morgan MacRae – with 10 National One tries this term – and Isaac Tokura are in the centres.
Luke Graham returns from injury on the right wing, with Uni flyer Ethan Bassett on the other flank.
Another former Colt in a rich vein of try-scoring form, Theo Pett-Ridge is full-back.
Three set for debuts off bench
Prop Elio Mandozzi, who reached 100 Maidenhead caps recently, provides front-row cover with fit-again Andrich Skein.
Versatile locks Callum Pitfield, Phil Poppy and debutant former Bath Under 18 Stan Muigai are also ready for action.
The final forward replacement is Olly Marsh, who scored against Chinnor at OBR earlier in the season.
Scrum-half is covered by Matt Wheeler, with two more strong midfield ball-carriers in Jake Jackson and Windsor’s Tom Vasu ready to make an impact.
Wing Sam Bowen makes a first appearance in nearly three months after overcoming injury, with the squad completed by flying teenager Declan Grobbelaar.
The South African speedster was another of last term’s title-winning Colts team.
