| Lee Mears will start at hooker in place of Pieter Dixon, as the team aims to build on last Saturday’s comprehensive victory over Bristol in the quarter-final of the European Challenge Cup.
Bath’s final game at home this season has been sold out for weeks, and will be followed by a presentation to Matt Perry, who announced his retirement from the game two weeks ago. All spectators are encouraged to stay to show their appreciation of Matt's loyal service to the sport and to Bath Rugby.
The crowd is then invited to stay to watch Bath and Bristol supporters face each other in the annual Moz Memorial Match, played in memory of Tim Morris. The game kicks off at 5pm and is free, but donations will be taken for the charity Médécins sans Frontières, so please give generously.
