Bath Rugby change three for Wasps clash

Nick Abendanon, Stuart Hooper and Dominic Day all return to the Bath Rugby starting line-up this weekend as they prepare to face London Wasps in the Aviva Premiership at Adams Park on Sunday, kick-off 15.00.

Abendanon comes back in at fullback, replacing Ollie Devoto. Horacio Agulla and Tom Biggs continue on the wings, with Matt Banahan and Kyle Eastmond combining in the centres once more. Stephen Donald and Michael Claassens also continue their half-back partnership.

Hooper and Day form a new second row partnership, with Dave Attwood shifting to the bench. Paul James, Lee Mears and David Wilson are unchanged in the front row, as are Francois Louw, Guy Mercer and Ben Skirving at the back of the pack.
