Bath's Tom Dunn to set new Premiership club record

Bath warrior Tom Dunn will set a new club record for the most Premiership appearances when he plays in Saturday’s top-of-the-table clash vs Leicester at The Rec.

The fans’ favourite will run out for the 184th time in the Premiership, as first plays second, beating the previous record held by loosehead prop David Barnes.

The 32-year-old starts in a pack featuring seven full internationals. Beno Obano and Thomas Du Toit are on either side of him in the front row, while Quinn Roux and Charlie Ewels will provide power in the engine room.

Flankers Ted Hill and Sam Underhill and Alfie Barbeary, at No.8, complete the pack.

Scrum-half and captain Ben Spencer teams up again with Finn Russell in the half-back positions, while Bath’s midfield sees Will Butt and Cameron Redpath partnered at inside and outside centres, respectively.

Will Muir and Joe Cokanasiga, on the wings, and Ciaran Donoghue at fullback, form what looks to be a potent back three.

Max Ojomoh has recovered from the ankle injury that has sidelined him for the past few weeks and takes his place on the 6-2 bench, with scrum-half Tom Carr-Smith the only other back selected.
