FLANKER David Sisi will make his first start for Bath tomorrow night when they take on Leicester Tigers in the final group match of the LV= Cup at Welford Road (7.45pm).

Sisi starts on the blindside, with Alafoti Fa’osiliva and Leroy Houston joining him in the back row.

Stuart Hooper returns at lock to captain the side, alongside Dominic Day.

In the front row, Charlie Beech gets his first start of the season at loosehead prop, Ross Batty is at hooker and Juan Pablo Orlandi continues at tighthead.

Academy back Ollie Devoto is given the nod at fly-half with the experienced Peter Stringer joining him in the half-backs.

The backline sees only two changes from that which dispatched Cardiff Blues last weekend, as Gavin Henson is named at inside centre to partner Matt Banahan in the midfield and Nick Abendanon returns at full-back.

Flyers Tom Biggs and Richard Lane keep their places on the wings.
