Bath:
15 Anthony Watson 14 Semesa Rokoduguni 13 Jonathan Joseph 12 Kyle Eastmond 11 Matt Banahan 10 George Ford 9 Peter Stringer 1 Paul James 2 Ross Batty 3 David Wilson 4 Stuart Hooper (c) 5 Dave Attwood 6 Sam Burgess 7 Francois Louw 8 Leroy Houston
Replacements:
16 Rob Webber 17 Nick Auterac 18 Henry Thomas 19 Dominic Day 20 Matt Garvey 21 Carl Fearns 22 Chris Cook 23 Ollie Devoto
Can't argue with the backs division after last week (can't believe it's taken all season to realise we should be going with Stringer then Cook) but I'm amazed were unchanged up front. Specifically what on Earth is James doing still starting? He got destroyed by Cole last week (most would TBF) but I don't think he offers enough compared to Auterac. And as a great a servant as Hooper is I think we'd be better served having Day or Garvey start.

Wyles to start over Ashton...is this normal? Or is it just because Wyles is way better defensively than Ashton (not hard) and they are playing Bath who could make Ashton look a right prat (well moreso than normal).
