It will be the third meeting of the season between the two sides, with the visitors having won on both occasions. The winner of tomorrow evening's fixture will progress to the semi-final to face either Hartpury or Northumbria.

Bath Rugby’s Tom Doughty returns to captain the side from hooker, with Arthur Cordwell and Austin Hay either side of him in the front row. Angus Hinton and Jack Davies form a second-row pairing. Jack Kenningham and Chris Barry start at blindside and openside flanker respectively and James Catlin completes the pack at number eight.

Ed Rimmer and Alex Burrage form the half back pairing, with Will Butt starting alongside Alex Nisbet in the midfield. Will Hughes and Ethan Hutt occupy the wings and Wil Partington lines up at full-back.

Meanwhile, Bath Rugby's Rhys Davies and Kieran Verden will be looking to make an impact off the bench.
