John Carter will come up against his former team when Oxford University take on Sale Sharks at Iffley Road on Monday night (7.15).

Carter, who starts at blindside flanker for the students, played for Sale between 2004 and 2008, and will be keen to impress in the Dark Blues’ highly competitive back row.

Oxford skipper Dan Rosen has named the same back line that faced Saracens last week, while lock Karl Outen and flanker Stan McKeen are the only changes to the pack.

Oxford University: Browne, Morris, Cheeseman, Allfrey, Catling, Swanson, Haydon, Lutton, Rosen (capt), Tomaszczyk, Kench, Outen, Carter, McKeen, Davies. Reps: Rogers, Keys, Van Zyl, Makoto, Klopper, Gibson, James, Mahony.
