Dream Team prop one of 11 internationals in Bath starting XV

World Rugby’s 2025 Dream Team tight-head Thomas du Toit is one of 11 full internationals in Bath’s starting XV for Sunday’s sold-out clash vs Saracens at the StoneX Stadium.

Du Toit returns from Springbok duty to pack down with England duo, Beno Obano and Tom Dunn, in the front row.

Quinn Roux and Charlie Ewels form the second row, with Ewels fresh from international duty.

In an all-Bath Rugby Academy back row, Scotland’s Josh Bayliss takes the blindside, with Miles Reid packing down at openside and Arthur Green completing the forwards at No.8.

Ben Spencer and Finn Russell return from international duty to pull on the Blue, Black and White as Bath’s starting half-backs.

Will Butt and Chris Harris pair up in the centre, while Henry Arundell, Joe Cokanasiga and Tom de Glanville combine in the back three to complete the starting XV.

Dan Frost, Francois van Wyk and Will Stuart will offer their power from the bench, seeing Ross Molony and Ted Hill also named for impact.

In a 5-3 split, Tom Carr-Smith, Max Ojomoh – England’s Player of the Match against Argentina, and Cameron Redpath provide the backline cover.
