Same again for Bath Rugby

Bath Rugby name an unchanged starting line-up to face Saracens in Round 13 of the Aviva Premiership on Sunday from that which defeated London Irish on New Year's Day, kick-off 3.00pm.

The trio of Nathan Catt, Ross Batty and Anthony Perenise continue in the front row, with Dave Attwood and Ryan Caldwell providing more power from the engine room. In the back-row, Andy Beattie, Francois Louw and Simon Taylor link up to complete the pack.

Michael Claassens and Stephen Donald team up once more to further develop their half-back partnership, whilst Tom Biggs and Olly Woodburn line up on the wings. Matt Banahan and Matt Carraro team up again in the centres, with Nick Abendanon completing the starting line-up at fullback.

The only change to the squad comes on the bench, where there is a welcome return for hooker Pieter Dixon.
