Francois Louw will captain Bath Rugby from the openside flank tomorrow as they host Leinster in the European Rugby Champions Cup at the Recreation Ground, kick-off 15.15.

Louw is joined in the back row by blindside Matt Garvey and number eight Leroy Houston, as Dominic Day and Dave Attwood start in the second row. Up front, Nick Auterac and Henry Thomas start either side of Rob Webber at hooker.

Chris Cook and George Ford combine as the half-backs, with Kyle Eastmond and Ollie Devoto making their fourth consecutive start together in the midfield. A potent back three is comprised of wings Matt Banahan and Semesa Rokoduguni and fullback Anthony Watson.
