University of Bath student Tom Dunn will make his first start for Bath Rugby's senior side tomorrow as they look to secure a home quarter-final in the Amlin Challenge Cup.
Hooker Dunn, who has made several appearances from the bench in the past month, is promoted to the front row alongside Charlie Beech and Anthony Perenise for the Pool 4 clash against Bucharest Wolves (2.15pm).
Stuart Hooper returns to captain the side from the second row, partnering Ryan Caldwell, and Guy Mercer comes in on the openside flank.
Jack Cuthbert starts at full-back and, on the bench, there is a welcome return from injury for both Nathan Catt and Matt Banahan.
A win over Bucharest will guarantee Bath remain as top seeds in the tournament, a position they have held since the opening weekend, and see them qualify for a home quarter-final in April.
Bath Rugby team to face Bucharest Wolves: 15 Jack Cuthbert, 14 Horacio Agulla, 13 Dan Hipkiss, 12 Ben Williams, 11 Olly Woodburn, 10 Tom Heathcote, 9 Mark McMillan; 1 Charlie Beech, 2 Tom Dunn, 3 Anthony Perenise, 4 Stuart Hooper (c), 5 Ryan Caldwell, 6 Will Skuse, 7 Guy Mercer, 8 Nick Koster. Replacements: 16 Brett Sharman, 17 Nathan Catt, 18 Kane Palma-Newport, 19 Dave Attwood, 20 Francois Louw, 21 Chris Cook, 22 Sam Vesty, 23 Matt Banahan.
