Hayman, who appeared off the bench during last weekend's EDF Energy Cup loss to Wasps, is among five Falcons changes from that game.
Newcastle rugby director John Fletcher said: ``Carl played 40 minutes at Wasps last weekend after being in the country for four days and having only trained once with the team.
``I thought he made a good contribution, even in those circumstances, and with the jet lag now out of his system and a good week of training under his belt, we are looking forward to seeing how he goes.''
Elsewhere in the Falcons side, England centre Mathew Tait remains at
full-back, with a fit-again Jonny Wilkinson starting his second game since the World Cup final almost seven weeks ago.
