England international George Furbank, who is on his way to Harlequins ahead of next season, is the chosen option at full back, joined by England teammates Tommy Freeman and Immanuel Feyi-Waboso in the back three.

Henry Slade and Australian super star Len Ikitau form their club centre pairing, with Tom Litchfield and Rory Hutchinson from Northampton unlucky to miss out.

Northampton's international pairing Fin Smith and Alex Mitchell - the latter a doubt for Saturday's final - are selected at half back, ahead of Exeter duo Harvey Skinner and Stephen Varney.

Into the pack, Australian loosehead Scott Sio is one of three Wallabies in this team, in the front row alongside Northampton's Curtis Langdon and the outgoing Elliot Millar Mills.

Welsh captain Dafydd Jenkins is the first lock, joined in the second row by Northampton's Alex Coles, ahead of South African powerhouse JJ Van Der Mescht, Ed Prowse and Andrea Zambonin.

The back row was the hardest selection in this team, with Callum Chick, Josh Kemeny, Christ Tshiunza, Greg Fisilau, Ross Vintcent and Ethan Roots all extremely unlucky to miss out.

Exeter's Tom Hooper is the blindside flanker chosen, joined by Northampton's solid Tom Pearson and the ever-X-Factor Henry Pollock, who completes the squad.
