Josh Bayliss will earn his 100th Bath Rugby appearance when the Blue, Black and White travel to Exeter Chiefs on Saturday.
The 25-year-old came all the way through the club’s pathway, debuting for the senior side in 2016, and has gone on to become an integral member of the squad, as well as a full international for Scotland.
Starting at Number 8, he will be joined in the back row by Ted Hill and Sam Underhill – the latter making his first appearance of the season.
