Entry for the 8pm kick-off is free of charge via the Tap & Tackle bar (East Stand), with the match also being shown live on the FreeSports channel.

Ryan Burrows captains the Falcons second string as they look to build on last Monday’s 54-13 home win over Leicester, Tom Arscott, Zach Kibirige and Adam Radwan providing a potent back three.

Former Welsh international Craig Mitchell starts at tight-head, while the Falcons’ bench includes fit-again trio Kyle Cooper, Nemani Nagusa and Michael Young.
