Bath Rugby have made two changes to their team to face Leinster Rugby on Saturday at the Aviva Stadium, kick-off 17:30.

Cooper Vuna comes in on the left wing to replace the injured Joe Cokanasiga, with Jacques van Rooyen starting in the number one shirt.

Vuna will be joined in the back three by Semesa Rokoduguni and Ruaridh McConnochie, who continues at full-back. Jackson Willison and Jamie Roberts continue in the midfield, with Will Chudley and James Wilson linking up in the half-back combination. 

Henry Thomas, a try scorer at the Rec last weekend starts in the front row alongside Tom Dunn and van Rooyen. Charlie Ewels captains the side from the second row, where he’ll feature alongside Dave Attwood.
