Bath currently sit top of the Southern Conference level on points with Gloucester Rugby, albeit with a superior points difference. A bonus-point win for the Blue, Black and White will see them through to the final of the Premiership Rugby U18 Academy League next Sunday at Allianz Park. However, Bath will be wary of the threat posed by the Exiles following their 27-22 victory against Gloucester last weekend, which took them up to fourth in the table.

Archie Stanley and Archie Griffin line up either side of Bradley Law in the front row. Ewan Richards and Ethan Staddon pair up in the second row, with Ayden Chenoweth and Xavier Hastings at blindside and openside flanker respectively. Nahum Merigan completes the pack starting at number eight .

Orlando Bailey will look to continue from where he left after scoring 14 points in last weekend’s victory against Saracens. The fly-half is joined by Will Cook in the half-back pairing. Max Ojomoh and Diego Periel continue their potent midfield partnership, with Owen Dudman and Gabriel Goss occupying the wing positions. George Worboys completes the line-up at fullback.
