Bristol v Sale
Venue: Memorial Stadium
Date: Friday, 19 September Kick-off: 1945 BST</div>
Bristol have made five changes with Ed Barnes coming in for Kevin Maggs at inside centre and Graeme Beveridge replacing Haydn Thomas at scrum-half.
In the pack, Alex Clarke replaces Mark Irish at loose-head prop, Alfie To'oala comes in on the blind-side and Dan Ward-Smith replaces Andrew Blowers.
Mark Cueto and Kristian Ormsby both come into the Sale starting line-up.
Cueto replaces David Doherty on the wing and Ormsby plays at flanker with Dwayne Peel starting at scrum-half.
Scotland flanker Jason White is set for his first outing of the season from the bench providing he passes a late fitness test.
Bristol director of rugby Richard Hill said, "in this day and age in professional rugby there tends to be less contact in the training because people save themselves for the weekend, which is OK on the understanding that you front up physically at the weekend.
"If you don't do that then you have to go back to the old-school methods and have a bit of first team against the second team and sort it out, and that's what we've done.
"I think that's been a pretty good approach and there's been a higher intensity in the sessions in the week and we hope that the message has been put home quite clear and we get a much better performance."
Bristol: Arscott; Arscott, Brew, Barnes, Lemi, Jarvis, Beveridge; Clarke, Linklater, Hobson; Sambucetti, Budgett; To'oala, El Abd (capt), Ward-Smith.
Replacements: Blaney, Bracken, Winters, Pennycook, Thomas, Lilo, Barden.
Sale: Tait, Cueto, McAlister, Thomas, Lamont, Hodgson, Peel, Sheridan, Bruno, Roberts, Jones, Schofield, Ormsby, Abraham, Chabal (capt).
Replacements: Briggs, Turner, Cox, White, Wigglesworth, Bell, Ripol.
