DAN BOWDEN will make his Bath deebut against Saracens at the Rec tomorrow.

Mike Ford's men lock horns with Sarries in the Aviva Premiership (kick-off 3.15pm) and former Leicester and London Irish man Bowden makes his Bath bow at inside centre for the meeting with the reigning English champions, with Matt Banahan moving from wing to thirteen. 

Rhys Priestland and Chris Cook make their third outing together in the half-backs, following successful forays in wins against Worcester Warriors and London Irish earlier in the season.

The back three sees the return of Tom Homer at full-back, whilst Horacio Agulla is named on the left wing, alongside recent England call-up Semesa Rokoduguni at fourteen.

Rob Webber makes his 70th career appearance for the club, as Nick Auterac and Henry Thomas pack down either side of the hooker. Charlie Ewels and Dominic Day are back in the second row. 

Francois Louw captains the side at openside flanker, joined in the back row by Matt Garvey and Leroy Houston whilst Guy Mercer has replaced David Denton on the replacements' bench.
