FRENCH star Thomas Castaignede will make his first start for Saracens in Japan after being named in the team to face Suntory at the National Stadium in Tokyo on Sunday evening.
The international, who returned to the squad at the end of last season following a lengthy injury, replaces Adryan Winnan at full back after coach Wayne Shelford opted to completely shuffle his pack for the second tour game against the national champions following the 66-12 victory over Sanix at the weekend.
Saracens' team is: Castaignede, Sparg, Sorrell, Johnston, Iwabuchi, Bracken, Goode; Califano, Ross, Marsters, Benazzi, Hooper, Roques, Hill, Chesney. Replacements: Cairns, Flatman, Peacey, Russell, Williams, Horan, O'Mahony, Shanklin.
