Myler and Wood missed last Sunday’s 35-10 victory at Newcastle Falcons with calf and back injuries respectively, with Will Hooley and Jon Fisher impressing in their place.

But Hooley and Fisher will have to settle for a place on the bench this weekend.

Alex Waller is also among the replacements as Alex Corbisiero returns to the first 15 for the clash with a Bath side who have a 100 per cent record this season.

The west country outfit have been forced to make two changes to the team that thumped Leicester Tigers 45-0 at The Rec last weekend.

Flanker Carl Fearns and powerhouse wing Matt Banahan are out injured, with Alafoti Fa’osiliva and Ollie Woodburn taking their places.
