Samoan international Alafoti Fa'osiliva will make his comeback from injury on Tuesday evening after being named in a strong Bath United side to play the British Army at The Rec (7.30pm). Fa'osiliva has been out for six weeks with a knee problem but returns at flanker as United bring the curtain down on their season in search of a seventh win in eight matches. The Army will provide one of the sternest tests of the campaign, however, and this is their final match before they take on the Royal Navy at Twickenham next weekend. In the front-row, Beno Obano makes his United debut at loosehead, with Eusebio Guinazu at hooker and captain Kane Palma-Newport at tighthead. Ryan Caldwell and Charlie Ewels are the driving force at second-row, with Tom Ellis, Fa'osiliva and Mat Gilbert at six, seven and eight respectively. A Wales-Scotland international pairing starts at half-back in the form of Martin Roberts and number ten Tom Heathcote. Newcomer George Wacokecoke will seek to shine on the left wing, opposite Olly Woodburn at 14, while Rich Lane continues at full-back.
