| Following on from victory over London Wasps on Wednesday night, there have been a number of changes to the Bath Rugby side for Saturday's EDF Energy Cup game against Leicester Tigers at The Rec (kick-off 2.15pm). |
The most notable addition to the side is that of former Bradford Bulls player Shontayne Hape who makes his first start for the Bath Rugby first team at outside centre. Other new signings, in the shape of fullback Robbie Kydd and scrum half Scott Bemand, also start.
In the forwards, number eight Ed Jackson and recent England Under 20 lock Scott Hobson make their Bath Rugby first team debuts. Hobson pairs up with Justin Harrison in the second row.
Prop David Flatman is named as captain.
