Bath make seven changes for the visit of Exeter as they prepare for their first home game since the Devon side won at The Rec in June’s Prem semi-final.
Ciaran Donoghue is named at full-back in three changes to the backs, as centre Cameron Redpath and scrum-half Bernard van der Linde come in to partner Finn Russell in the half-backs.
Tom Dunn is named at hooker while Guy Pepper comes in for injured England flanker Sam Underhill as Ewan Richards and Quin Roux are also brought into the pack.
Exeter welcome back Tommy Wyatt after a minor shoulder problem as he gets his first Prem start since a serious knee injury in May 2025.
He comes in on the wing as Olly Woodburn moves to full-back with Ben Hammersley dropping out.
They are the only changes to an Exeter side that suffered a surprise 45-24 loss at home to Gloucester last week.
