Rees, who has been back in training this week following England's return from the Rugby World Cup, slots straight in to the starting fifteen in place of Rob Webber, who drops to the bench. The addition of Rees is the only change to the team from last weekend's encounter with Harlequins.
Director of Rugby, Ian McGeechan said:
"The EDF Energy Cup presents a different challenge to the domestic league, and for us its good to embark on a new competition. It's our first cross border encounter of the season and valuable experience for the players, they know how important it is to perform well. It's great to have Tom Rees back out on the domestic stage and we look forward to facing our opposition, Newport Gwent Dragons who are going well in the Magners League. Playing in Wales is always a challenge and we know that we will have to be on top of our game to come away with a win."
