JON Callard has a pleasant selection headache for the first time in weeks as Bath try to break their away-day duck at Wasps tomorrow (3pm).
With the exception of Americans Dan Lyle and Dan Dorsey, both away on international duty, Callard will be able to field his strongest side since the Heineken Cup victory over Edinburgh a month ago.
That means returns for Mike Catt, Mike Tindall, Danny Grewcock and Mark Regan, as well as Welshman Gavin Thomas as Bath try to win a domestic match on the road for the first time this season.
Callard has decided not to risk Nathan Thomas (neck) with Andy Beattie moving to No 8.
Meanwhile, Wasps hooker Phil Greening has labelled the Loftus Road meeting as "massive" for both sides.
England reject Greening said: "It's a bargain basement clash. We are both at the bottom of the table, fighting it out and for the survival of the clubs it's a massive game."
Wasps have received a boost with the early return of England back Josh Lewsey.
The 25-year-old has recovered from a fractured cheekbone quicker than expected and replaces stop-gap Matt Leek at full-back.
Former rugby league legend Martin Offiah is again named on the bench after making his Premiership debut as a sub in last week's heavy defeat at Gloucester.
Bath : Perry, Balshaw, Maggs, Tindall, Voyce, Catt, Cooper, Barnes, Regan, Mallett, Borthwick, Grewcock, G Thomas, Gabey, Beattie. Subs: Williams, Long, Emms, Barkley, Danielli, Scaysbrook, Hopcroft.
Wasps: Lewsey, Roiser, Waters, Denney (capt), Logan, King, Wood, Dowd, Greening, Green, Shaw, Jones, Worsley, Volley, Lock.
