ROB Webber, Dave Attwood and Anthony Watson return to the Bath line-up to face west country rivals Gloucester in the Aviva Premiership at the Rec tomorrow (7.45pm).

The trio all make their first appearances since the end of September, Attwood having been released to return to the club after training with England earlier this week.

Webber is joined in the front row by the international duo of Paul James - included in Wales' November Test squad this week - and Anthony Perenise, the versatile Samoa prop shifting back to the tighthead.

Attwood faces his former club and partners captain Stuart Hooper in the second row, while flankers Matt Garvey and Francois Louw are also back in the starting line-up. Carl Fearns continues at number eight.

Scrum-half Peter Stringer combines with fly-half George Ford in the half-backs, as Matt Banahan reverts to the left wing and Semesa Rokoduguni comes back onto the right.

Kyle Eastmond, also released by England, returns to partner Jonathan Joseph in the midfield, with Watson named at full-back.

Tom Savage returns to skipper Gloucester, as they make several changes to the team that started the Heineken Cup defeat to Munster last weekend.

Only six players are retained in the starting line-up from that encounter in Limerick - the front row of Dan Murphy, Darren Dawidiuk and Rupert Harden as well as Jonny May, Ryan Mills and Mike Tindall in the backs.

Freddie Burns and Matt Kvesic were released from England training camp on Wednesday and are named at fly half and openside flanker respectively.

James Simpson-Daniel will make his 183rd Premiership appearance for Gloucester, and overtakes Peter Buxton become Gloucester's top appearance maker.
