TAULUPE Faletau has returned to Bath's starting line-up for the Aviva Premiership clash against Harlequins at the Rec tomorrow (3pm).

Faletau made his comeback as a second-half replacement for Wales in their RBS 6 Nations defeat by England last Saturday and returns to his club team at number eight.

Joining him in the back row is co-captain Francois Louw and David Denton, who will make his first start in the league since September.

In an unchanged front five, Nathan Catt, Tom Dunn and Max Lahiff head up the scrum with Charlie Ewels and Elliott Stooke completing the forward pack.

It will also be a landmark day for Rory Jennings, who will make his Aviva Premiership debut at inside centre alongside Max Clark.

After kicking the crucial match-winning penalty in the 32-30 victory over Northampton Saints last Friday, Rhys Priestland retains his place with Kahn Fotuali’i at scrum-half.

Semesa Rokoduguni will be keen to add to his tally in a Bath shirt from the wing after scoring his 48th try on his 100th appearance for the club last week. Jack Wilson makes his second successive Aviva Premiership start on the left wing, with Tom Homer at full-back.
