The day, held at Saracens’ StoneX Stadium, will conclude the league season for the junior Blue, Black and White who finished fifth in the Southern Conference.

They won four matches in total, the same amount as second-placed Bristol Bears and third-placed Saracens and one more than fourth-placed Harlequins, and inflicted London Irish to their only defeat.

In a friendly, the Under-18s also won against Northampton Saints who came top of the Northern Conference.

Bath have made three changes for the match against a Newcastle side whose record sits at two wins, a draw and three losses.

Henry Bartlett returns to the wing to join a back three containing James Linegar and Luke Graham.

Rory Crum and James Short continue their strong partnership in the centres while Ieuan Davies and Raff Weston are the half-backs – positions they have maintained all campaign.

In the pack, Charlie Ward comes into the second row and Kacey Pike returns at hooker looking to add to his impressive tryscoring tally of six in four games.

Ioan Emanuel and Billy Sela keep their places in the front row with Jack Bennett, Jack Haythornthwaite, George Timmins and captain Connor Treacey completing the pack.
