SPRINGBOK centre Robbie Fleck could make a first team return for leaders Bath in the Zurich Premiership clash against London Irish at the Rec today (2.15pm).
The South African international has played just 16 minutes of a Zurich A league game since fracturing his tibia and fibula in a freak tackle against Gloucester in November, but is named on the bench.
Aside from Fleck, who comes in for Gareth Knox, John Connolly has made just one change to the side that defeated the Exiles 21-20 at the Madejski Stadium last weekend.
With Steve Borthwick away on international duty James Hudson starts alongside Rob Fidler in the second row.
Meanwhile, England Under 21 centre Spencer Davey has become the latest player to agree a new deal.
He has taken up the option of a one year extension to his current contract.
Bath: Sampson, Crockett, Higgins, Davey , Human, Malone, Wood, Flatman, Humphreys (capt), Bell, Fidler, Hudson, Beattie, Lipman, Feaunati. Subs: Martens, Mears, Stevens, Fleck, Barnes, Scaysbrook, Gray.
