Due to an injury to Seta Tamanivalu,
Donald comes in at number 12 and
joins Anton Lienert-Brown in the midfield
for the win-or-bust clash.
Elsewhere in the backs, Sam McNicol
is preferred ahead of Toni Pulu on the
right wing while Brad Weber is back as
the starting scrumhalf.
Kane Hames, Nathan Harris and Atu
Moli form the front-row while Dominic Bird and Brodie Retallick will continue their solid lock partnership.
With Liam Messam unavailable, Tom
Sanders shifts over to number eight
and is joined in the back row by Taleni
Seu and co-captain Sam Cane.
