WORCESTER Cavaliers will be looking to make it two wins from two when they travel to Kingston Park for tonight's Aviva A-League clash with Newcastle Falcons (7pm).
Cavaliers cruised past Sale Jets 29-12 in last week's opener.
Academy manager Mark Hewitt makes three changes to last week's side as Ryan Bower, Jack Singleton and Huw Taylor come into the starting line-up.
Perry Humphreys, Josh Adams and Dean Hammond make up the back three, while Max Stelling partners Ravai Fatiaki in midfield.
The half-back combination sees captain Jean-Baptiste Bruzulier line-up alongside Jamie Shillcock after a strong showing form the pair against Sale.
Gareth Milasinovich gets more game-time in the front row in front of locks Andrew Kitchener and Darren O'Shea, and Mat Gilbert is named in the back row alongside Sam Ripper-Smith.
Hewitt said: "We got off to a great start last week against Sale and will be looking for another promising performance tonight against a strong Falcons side.
"A number of players put their hands up last week and we hope they can continue to state their case as we drive levels of competition across the whole squad at the club."
