CLUB captain Stuart Hooper is back to lead Bath in their first ever home Aviva Premiership semi-final against Leicester Tigers tomorrow (5pm).

Hooper takes his place in the second row, where he is joined by Dave Attwood and is one of two changes from last weekend's starting pack against Gloucester, with hooker Ross Batty joining the front alongside Paul James and David Wilson.

The back row trio of blindside Sam Burgess, openside Francois Louw and number eight Leroy Houston continues, as does the nine-ten axis of Peter Stringer and George Ford.

Fly-half Ford will make his 50th appearance for the club.

The only change to the Bath backline sees the reinstatement of Jonathan Joseph at outside centre, whilst Kyle Eastmond is named at inside centre. Matt Banahan and Semesa Rokoduguni take the wing spots, with Anthony Watson at full-back.

Bath: 15 Anthony Watson, 14 Semesa Rokoduguni, 13 Jonathan Joseph, 12 Kyle Eastmond, 11 Matt Banahan, 10 George Ford, 9 Peter Stringer, 1 Paul James, 2 Ross Batty, 3 David Wilson, 4 Stuart Hooper (captain), 5 Dave Attwood, 6 Sam Burgess, 7 Francois Louw, 8 Leroy Houston.
