Continuing the momentum of the previous four fixtures, several players retain their positions following an impressive win over Gloucester U18 last weekend. In the front row, Henry Veale, Logan Jarvie and Ned Cartwright will combine to provide a powerful unit, while Ben Allen and Henry Ball start in the second row. The back row sees Alex Yeasbley take the blindside flank, with the Faosilivia brothers, Taotafa and Georgia, complete the starting forwards pack as openside and Number 8 respectively, the first time the two have started alongside each other. At half-back, Ollie Lewis continues at scrum-half partnered by co-captain Max Hooper at fly-half. The midfield pairing of Declan Treacey, who also co-captains the side, and Aston Barrington-Hibbert provides continuity in the centre. The back three features Ryan Carr and Harry Jones on the wings, with Cynyr MacRae moving from last week’s bench to start at full-back. Malachi Randolph, Theo Lewis-Zydbel and Sid Moore will provide their impact from the bench, alongside Louis Mortimore and Harry Hellier who complete this week’s replacement forwards. Oscar Harrison, Cade Comer and Tom Meredith take the final bench spots as Bath’s three replacement backs. The game kicks off at Ivybridge RFC on Saturday 10 January (15:30). #### TEAM **Bath Rugby U18**
