Charlie Ewels will lead out Bath Rugby for the first home game of the season against Worcester Warriors in the Premiership Rugby Cup at the Rec tomorrow afternoon (kick-off 15:00).
Ewels was confirmed as Club captain for the 2019/20 campaign yesterday, and will feature in a starting line-up which sees new signings Christian Judge, Josh McNally and Mike Williams all make their debuts in the Blue, Black and White.
Beno Obano, Ross Batty and Judge form the front row, with Ewels and McNally the lock pairing for the second round tie. Williams, Josh Bayliss and Zach Mercer complete the pack in the back row.
Will Chudley and Rhys Priestland start in the half back pairing, with Max Wright and Max Clark at inside and outside centre respectively.
