Matt Garvey returns to the starting line-up to co-captain the side and will join Elliott Stooke in the second row.

Nathan Catt, Tom Dunn and Henry Thomas continue in the front row with Tom Ellis, Sam Underhill and Francois Louw completing the pack.

Will Chudley joins Garvey as co-captain after leading the team to a 14-24 victory over Wasps last weekend. A try scorer in that game, Chudley starts at scrum-half alongside Freddie Burns, who contributed 19 points in a Man of the Match performance at the Ricoh Arena.

Jamie Roberts and Max Wright form the midfield pairing, with Ruaridh McConnochie and Semesa Rokoduguni looking to make an impact off the wings. James Wilson completes the back line at full-back.

Rhys Priestland and Charlie Ewels return to the squad as the duo are named among the replacements for Bath Rugby’s final game of 2018.
