Bath Rugby Senior Academy players Arthur Cordwell and Simone Elrick have been brought into the matchday 23 to bolster up the front row options and will make their first appearances of the season.

The hosts make just one change to their starting line-up from the narrow 39-32 defeat to Swansea last week with Tom Pittman coming into the midfield for Sam Kennaugh.
