Francois Louw and Horacio Agulla will return to the Bath Rugby starting line-up for Saturday's Aviva Premiership clash with local rivals Exeter Chiefs (3.15pm).
They duo will be back in blue, black and white for the contest at The Rec following their international involvement with South Africa and Argentina respectively.
Springbok flanker Louw will skipper the side and form a powerful back-row trio alongside Matt Garvey and Leroy Houston.
There is no place in the matchday 23 for club captain Stuart Hooper, who is replaced by Dominic Day to join Dave Attwood in the second-row. Nathan Catt, Rob Webber and Davey Wilson continue their front-row combination from last Sunday's league victory at Wasps.
Agulla and Matt Banahan are named on the wings, with Ollie Devoto and Jonathan Joseph continuing their partnership in midfield. Anthony Watson is selected at full-back, as George Ford combines with Peter Stringer in the half-backs once more.
Exeter have tinkered with their line-up following last Saturday's 16-9 loss to Premiership leaders Saracens.
Full-back Luke Arscott is given a first league start of the season, meaning Phil Dollman drops back into the midfield to partner the recalled Jason Shoemark.
Up front, the only change to the Chiefs pack sees Ben Moon come in at loosehead prop for Brett Sturgess, who drops to the bench alongside Ian Whitten.Bath Rugby team to face Exeter Chiefs: 15 Anthony Watson, 14 Horacio Agulla, 13 Jonathan Joseph, 12 Ollie Devoto, 11 Matt Banahan, 10 George Ford, 9 Peter Stringer, 1 Nathan Catt, 2 Rob Webber, 3 David Wilson, 4 Dominic Day, 5 Dave Attwood, 6 Matt Garvey, 7 Francois Louw (c), 8 Leroy Houston.
