Charteris, Dunn and Obano all take their places in the pack, whilst Joseph lines up at outside centre against last year’s Aviva Premiership finalists.

Dunn and Obano are the two changes in the front row, with Henry Thomas continuing at tighthead prop. Charteris will link-up with Charlie Ewels in the second row, with Zach Mercer at number eight, as Bath look to make it two out of two against Dai Young’s side. The 20-year-old will be joined in the back row by captain Matt Garvey and Paul Grant, who switches to openside flanker.

Rhys Priestland returns to fly-half, and will be joined by Kahn Fotuali’i in the half-back combination. In the midfield, there is a start for James Wilson at inside centre, with Joseph providing the support outside the New Zealander.

The back three is unchanged from last weekend’s game against Sale Sharks, with Anthony Watson at fullback and Aled Brew and Jack Wilson occupying the wing positions.
