A mix of youth and experience will run out for Bath Rugby at the Twickenham Stoop as they take on Harlequins in Round Two of the LV= Cup.

Lee Mears will captain the side at hooker, with Charlie Beech and Anthony Perenise either side of him in the front row. Dominic Day and Dave Attwood renew their second-row partnership, whilst Academy back-row Will Skuse and Guy Mercer are joined by Simon Taylor at the back of the scrum.

Academy scrum-half Chris Cook forges a new half-back partnership with Stephen Donald as Tom Biggs and Kyle Eastmond come back onto the wings. Ben Williams starts at inside centre with Matt Banahan moving to the outside centre berth, as 19 year old Ollie Devoto lines-up at fullback.

Double try-scorer against Newport Gwent Dragons Semesa Rokoduguni is named amongst the replacements, as is young fly-half Tom Heathcote who added 21 points from the boot in the 36-15 victory at the Recreation Ground.

Also on the bench is prop Alan Cotter, on loan from Munster, and Michael Claassens, who is in line to make his 150th appearance in the Bath jersey if he’s called upon.

Meanwhile, there are four Harlequins changes to the starting line-up that defeated Northampton Saints, Tom Williams is named at full-back, while Jordan Turner-Hall and George Lowe return from knee and ankle injuries respectively to partner in the centres.

In the forwards, one change is made in the front row as hooker Joe Gray starts. Open side flanker Luke Wallace retains the captaincy.

Tom Casson is named among the replacements after recovering from a head injury picked up during the Gloucester fixture.
