Hooker Tom Dunn will don the captain’s armband for tonight’s Aviva A League match between Bath United and Bristol United at the Recreation Ground, kick-off 19.30.

Dunn scrums down with Nathan Catt and Kane Palma-Newport either side of him, as Pat Jenkinson and Alex Humfrey combine in the second row. Levi Douglas, fresh from making his first team debut yesterday, starts on the blindside, with Sydney Blackmore and Zach Mercer at openside and number eight respectively.

Jonathan Evans and Adam Hastings renew their half-back partnership, with Liam Forsyth and Darren Atkins named out wide on the wings. Rory Jennings and Max Clark continue in the midfield, and Brett Herron completes the line-up at fullback.

Entrance to tonight’s game at the Rec is free, with a suggested donation on the gate of £2 going to Bath Rugby Foundation.
