BATH Rugby have named an unchanged starting line-up to face Leinster in Saturday’s European Rugby Champions Cup meeting at the RDS Arena (kick-off 5.30pm).

In the backs, Anthony Watson provides the threat from full-back, as Matt Banahan and Semesa Rokoduguni once again start out wide on the wings.

Chris Cook and George Ford, so effective last Sunday, continue their half-back partnership, while fresh from thriving against the challenge of Mathieu Bastareaud and Ma’a Nonu in the south of France are centres Kyle Eastmond and Jonathan Joseph.

Up front, Max Lahiff, Rob Webber and David Wilson are named in the front row following their powerful performance in Toulon last weekend.

Captain Stuart Hooper – named the Telegraph’s Player of the Week after his towering display at the Stade Mayol – partners Dominic Day in the second row, while the back-row once again consists of Matt Garvey, Francois Louw and Leroy Houston.

Bath Rugby team to face Leinster: 15 Anthony Watson, 14 Semesa Rokoduguni, 13 Jonathan Joseph, 12 Kyle Eastmond, 11 Matt Banahan, 10 George Ford, 9 Chris Cook, 1 Max Lahiff, 2 Rob Webber, 3 David Wilson, 4 Stuart Hooper (capt), 5 Dominic Day, 6 Matt Garvey, 7 Francois Louw, 8 Leroy Houston. Replacements: 16 Ross Batty, 17 Nick Auterac, 18 Henry Thomas, 19 Charlie Ewels, 20 David Denton, 21 Jonathan Evans, 22 Rhys Priestland, 23 Tom Homer.
