Saxons stars return for Bath Rugby

Bath Rugby's Saxons flyers Tom Biggs and Kyle Eastmond return to the starting line-up tomorrow as Worcester Warriors arrive for the first Aviva Premiership match of the year at the Recreation Ground, kick-off 14.15.

Both stars return to the back-line, with Biggs on the wing and Eastmond outside Bath favourite Matt Banahan, who shifts to inside centre. Argentinean Horacio Agulla lines up on the opposite wing, with Nick Abendanon named again at fullback.

Stephen Donald and Peter Stringer continue to organise proceedings from half-back, building on their controlling performance from last weekend's epic win over Gloucester.

In the forwards, Charlie Beech and Anthony Perenise are given the nod either side of Rob Webber in the front row and Dave Attwood and Dominic Day continue their powerful partnership in the engine room. Ben Skirving is in at Number 8, with Francois Louw and Carl Fearns - fresh from a deeply impressive return from injury last weekend - flanking him.

There are still tickets available for the game against Worcester, and the Clubhouse will be showing the Wales v France 6 Nations game after the final whistle, so come on in to the warm and cheer on our very own Welshman, Paul James!

Tickets are available in person from the Ticket Office on Pulteney Bridge, or on the phone on 0844 448 1865.
