Bath are well in the mix for the play-off spots, sitting in fifth in the Gallagher Premiership after winning four out of five games since the restart of the league. They host struggling Worcester at The Rec after toppling Harlequins 41-27 at The Stoop on Saturday.
Meanwhile Worcester went down 36-13 to Bristol last Friday night.
Josh McNally captains Bath after 11 personnel changes. Will Chudley and Josh Matavesi are the starting half-backs, hooker Ross Batty returns to the matchday squad for the first time since 18 January (he’s on the bench here) and Juan Schoeman, Kieren Verden and Orlando Bailey could make their debuts too.
Worcester make a whopping 14 swaps of their own. Samoa wing Ed Fidow gets a first start since January, while lock Andrew Kitchener is unavailable after being sent off against Bristol. Exciting young centre Ollie Lawrence is the only player to keep his place after the Bristol loss, while club captain Ted Hill is amongst the replacements.
It was excruciatingly close las time these two met – a 22-21 Bath win in February – as Worcester came roaring in at the death, but a Chris Pennell penalty drifted painfully past the posts.
Sale Sharks thrashed a second-string Bristol Bears side 40-17 with Luke James securing two tries in what proved a comfortable victory.
The home side raced into a three-try lead through James, Denny Solomona and Faf de Klerk who all secured converted tries for the Sharks.
Sale were 26-0 up when Alapati Leuia’s try reduced the deficit for Bears before half-time but another try from James and one from Marlon Yarde secured a bonus-point win.
