DAVE Attwood, Taulupe Faletau, Aled Brew and Darren Atkins all come into the starting line-up for Bath for Saturday’s Premiership clash at home to Northampton Saints (kick-off 3pm).
A reshuffle in the back-line sees Jackson Willison move to inside centre, with Brew partnering the Kiwi in the midfield.
Max Green and Freddie Burns continue in the half-back pairing at The Rec as Bath look to build on last weekend’s bonus-point victory away at Harlequins.
Fresh from scoring twice at The Stoop, Joe Cokanasiga continues on the left wing, with the talismanic Semesa Rokoduguni on the opposite flank. Atkins completes the back three, with the 21-year-old coming into the side at full-back.
Nathan Catt, Tom Dunn and Henry Thomas complete an unchanged front row, while Attwood returns to the side to feature alongside captain Luke Charteris in the second row.
Tom Ellis and Sam Underhill remain at blindside and openside flanker respectively, with Faletau coming in at number eight to complete the pack.
Bath team to face Northampton Saints: Darren Atkins, Semesa Rokoduguni, Aled Brew, Jackson Willison, Joe Cokanasiga, Freddie Burns, Max Green, Nathan Catt, Tom Dunn, Henry Thomas, Dave Attwood, Luke Charteris (c), Tom Ellis, Sam Underhill, Taulupe Faletau.
