HEAD coach John Connolly has made two changes to the starting line-up for Bath's Parker Pen Challenge Cup Second Round, second leg against Colomiers at the Rec today (2.15pm).
As expected, prop Duncan Bell returns, having recovered from a back strain, while lock Rob Fidler starts in place of Steve Borthwick, who misses the game after sustaining a split nostril in the opening leg in France last weekend.
"The doctor advised us that Steve should not play," said Connolly.
"There was the risk that if we played him and the wound reopened, he might require plastic surgery."
At half-time, England World Cup winners Mike Catt, Mike Tindall and Iain Balshaw will parade the William Webb Ellis Trophy around the ground.
Bath: Danielli, Higgins, Maggs, Crockett, Blake, Barkley, Wood, Flatman, Humphreys, Bell, Fidler, Grewcock (capt), Beattie, Lipman, Feaunati. Subs: Martens, Mears, Barnes, Malone, Gray, Scaysbrook, Stevens.
