The 6.30pm kick-off forms the second part of a double header on the day with the Falcons first team hosting Gloucester in the Gallagher Premiership at 3pm.

Callum Chick captains a Newcastle side fresh from Monday’s 28-7 bonus-point away win at Sale Sharks, the Falcons sticking with a similar line-up in a busy part of the season which also sees them playing Leicester Tigers A on New Year’s Eve at Loughborough University (1pm).
