Craig Lilley names side for final Southern Conference test against Gloucester Rugby U18s

Bath Rugby U18s have made three changes to the side for the final fixture in the Southern Conference against West Country rivals Gloucester Rugby in the Premiership Rugby U18s League.

Craig Lilley’s side narrowly beat Harlequins 40-36 in a 12-try thriller last time out and will be looking to secure their place at Finals Day on Sunday 16^th February at Sixways Stadium. 

Ethan Hawtin moves to outside centre replacing Bradley Law as Oli de Glanville joins the versatile back in midfield, replacing Will Fitz-Gerald, who drops to the bench.

With a reshuffle in the backrow, the only change sees Tom Cowan moves to blindside with Tom Ahl replacing Josh Dingley on the openside.
