The Dark Blues took the spoils 24-12 at Iffley Road last January, but scrum-half Boxhall will hope to inspire his side with James Gilman outside him.
Jake Jackson and Isaac Tokura combine in a midfield which contains two strong ball-carriers.
South African Luke Graham – who has five National One tries this term – continues his comeback from injury on the right wing, with Reading Uni flyer Ethan Bassett on the other flank.
Former Mini turned Berkshire Under 20s man Theo Pett-Ridge rounds out the three-quarters at full-back.
Front row unchanged for students’ test
The same front row as against Richmond Vikings start as hooker Harry Bicknell is sandwiched by Max Marshall and George Breese.
All three have first-team caps this season, with second row Paddy Jackson having also started the two previous games.
He is partnered by the impressive Jacob Kyte, the fourth Uni student alongside Gilman, Tokura and Bassett.
And two more feature in the back row with Phil Poppy on the blind-side and Olly Marsh at No. 8.
The starting line-up is completed by two-time former Colts’ league-winning captain Aaron Preston.
Teenager Obi back on the bench
Another of that successful youth side, prop Obi Nwachuku, is joined in covering the front row by Max Hughes.
Versatile second or back row Will Burrows has impressed since moving down south last summer, with the other forward replacement ex-Bath Under 18 man Stan Muigai.
Speedster Sam Bowen made his return from injury against Richmond last week and will be looking to make an impact from the bench, with debutant scrum-half Ollie Morgan set for his first Rams outing.
Adult standing tickets cost £3, with seats £5. Under 18s enter free.
