AUSTRALIAN centre Ben Tapuai will make his debut for Bath on Sunday when they take on Harlequins in the Aviva Premiership at the Stoop.

Tapuai joins Max Clark in the midfield, who had an impressive return from injury in the win against Bristol last weekend.

Out wide, Aled Brew comes back into the starting line-up on the left wing, with Semesa Rokoduguni, England’s man of the match against Fiji last Saturday, on the right.

Tom Homer provides the threat from full-back, as Dan Bowden starts at fly-half for the first time this season and Darren Allinson continues at scrum-half.

Up front, Tom Dunn starts between Nathan Catt and Kane Palma-Newport in the front row, with the powerful pairing of Matt Garvey and Dave Attwood behind them in the engine room.

Tom Ellis on the openside, Guy Mercer on the blindside and Zach Mercer coming in at number eight form the back row.
