The young Blue, Black and White have already booked their place in the final after last weekend’s victory over Leicester Tigers and will be aiming to extend their unbeaten run once again. In the front row, Henry Veale is retained at loosehead, while Malachi Randolph and Ned Cartwright come back into the starting XV after featuring off the bench last week. Henry Ball keeps his place in the second row and is joined by Louis Mortimore to form a new partnership. Alex Yeabsley and Harry Hellier line up on the flanks, with Georgia Faosiliva at number eight. In the backs, Ollie Lewis returns to the starting XV to partner co-captain Max Hooper at half-back, while the familiar centre pairing of Declan Treacey and Aston Barrington-Hibbert remains unchanged. Tom Meredith shifts to the right wing, with Stan Walsh coming into the side for the first time this season on the left wing. Cynyr MacRae completes the line-up at full back. Among the replacements, Logan Jarvie, Theo Lewis-Zdybel and Sid Moore provide front row cover, while Filippo Hurrell, Taotafa Faosiliva, Oscar Harrison, Cade Comer and Ryan Carr will offer additional impact. The game kicks off at Shelford RFC on Saturday 7 February (13:00). #### TEAM **Bath Rugby U18 Starting XV versus Gloucester Rugby U18 (School | Club where stated):**
