ANTHONY Perenise will make his 100th appearance for Bath in the club’s final game of the Aviva Premiership season against London Irish at the Rec on Saturday (kick-off 4pm).

Prop Perenise, who is in his second spell at the club, starts in the front row alongside hooker Tom Dunn and Lucas Noguera, who comes into the starting line-up at loosehead.

Matt Garvey returns to the team, with the club captain starting alongside Elliott Stooke in the second row. Tom Ellis, Francois Louw and Taulupe Faletau complete the pack in an unchanged back-row.

Kahn Fotuali’i and Rhys Priestland continue in the half-back positions, with Matt Banahan moving to centre to partner James Wilson in the midfield.

Cooper Vuna comes into the starting line-up on the right wing, fresh from scoring Bath’s fifth try against Gloucester last week. He will joined in the back three by Aled Brew and Tom Homer, both of whom also went over the whitewash in last weekend’s 43-20 derby victory at Kingsholm.
