With a third consecutive home play-off already secured after finishing second in the league table, Bath will be looking to maintain momentum heading into the business end of the season.
Kick-off at The Rec is scheduled for 3pm on Saturday, 13 June.
Russell Still Missing
Bath’s injury list remains relatively unchanged, with Scotland fly-half Finn Russell continuing his recovery from a calf injury.
Russell’s absence means Argentina international Santi Carreras once again takes the No.10 shirt, with England internationals Henry Arundell, Ollie Lawrence and Joe Cokanasiga all named in a star-studded backline.
The club have also confirmed that Jaco Coetzee, Tom Cowan, Harvey Cuckson, Sam Harris, Louie Hennessey, Will Muir, Guy Pepper and Will Stuart are unavailable for selection.
Poll:
Century Up For Ojomoh
There is a special milestone for centre Max Ojomoh, who will make his 100th appearance for Bath Rugby this weekend.
The 24-year-old becomes the third Bath player to reach the century mark this season, underlining his importance to Johann van Graan’s side.
