Martin is one of nine Capital-based players named in Shade Munro’s starting XV, with a further four listed on the bench.

Munro said: “It’s great to see new players pushing for places while our leaders are continuing to step up and show what it takes to be a high-performance athlete. I’m looking forward to seeing the group rise to the challenge.”
