Bath v Northampton Saints: Full team news for Saturday's game

Boss Phil Dowson makes 10 changes for the trip to The Rec, with the likes of Alex Mitchell, Fin Smith, Fraser Dingwall and George Furbank rested.

That means Archie McParland, Anthony Belleau, Rory Hutchinson, Tommy Freeman and James Ramm, who is back from a two-week ban, start.

Alex Coles and JJ van der Mescht are also left out, meaning Ed Prowse and Chunya Munga form the second-row pairing this weekend.

Callum Chick comes in to captain the side at six, with Sam Graham in at seven as Josh Kemeny and Tom Pearson are given the weekend off.

England Under-20s prop Oliver Scola is set to make his PREM debut from the bench.

Emeka Atuanya, Will Glister, Curtis Langdon, Tom Litchfield, Tom Lockett, Charlie Ulcoq and Tom West remain unavailable.

Bath have also made 10 changes to their side for this weekend's clash, having rested some key men for the win at Newcastle Red Bulls last Sunday.

Ollie Lawrence returns at centre, while Ben Spencer, who makes his 100th PREM Rugby appearance in a Bath shirt, rekindles his partnership with Finn Russell at half-back.

Josh Bayliss and Miles Reid, who makes his 100th PREM appearance, remain in the back row, with Sam Underhill coming into the fold to start on the openside.

Beno Obano, Tom Dunn and Thomas du Toit are named as this weekend’s starting front row.

Quinn Roux comes into the second row, with Ross Molony retaining his starting jersey from last week.

Max Ojomoh moves across to inside centre, seeing Lawrence returning to the jersey in the 13 channel.

Henry Arundell and Joe Cokanasiga start on the wings and Tom de Glanville completes the starting 15 at full-back.

On the bench, last weekend's try-scoring front row of Dan Frost, Francois van Wyk and Archie Griffin look to provide extra impact.

Ted Hill and Guy Pepper complete the five forward replacements in a return for Pepper after a spell on the sidelines.
