Winger Regan Grace is set to make his official Bath Rugby debut against Bedford Blues this weekend in Round 3 of the Premiership Rugby Cup.

The 28-year-old former St Helens RL star has been out of action until now after undergoing surgery on the hamstring injury he suffered whilst on tour with Wales this summer.

Mirroring the Joseph Suaalii situation with Australia, Grace was selected by Wales despite not playing a first-class game of rugby union but unlike his Australian counterpart he is yet to be capped after an injury-plagued switch from the 13-man code.

Grace arrived at Bath from Racing 92 rehabbing an Achilles injury and only has two friendly appearances under his belt – against Gloucester and Leinster last season.

There is also a welcome return for England A centre, Max Ojomoh, who has been sidelined all season with a foot injury.

Meanwhile, Mackenzie Graham is handed his first start of the season, joining captain Ewan Richards in the second row, as Bath look to make it three wins out of three in the competition.

Nations Championship: 'The data shows the north has finally caught up with the south'

The Six Nations produced so many compelling games and so much of action packed moments that you can only conclude that its the best international comp out there at the moment except for a world cup. If Wales improve it will be even better especially given the strides Italy have made in recent times. The Rugby Championship is now taking a hiatus in a year it really should be building toward something better which is terrible considering the competition was so tight last year. The Nations Champs promises much but one gets the feeling that the 6 Nations teams will not be at their peak given its at the end of their long season. In terms of rugby quality and entertainment Id rather watch the 6 Nations over everything else other than a world cup right now. The North arguably offers more in terms of entertainment than the South at club level as well. The Prem, the Champs Cup, URC and Top 14 all feature plenty of scoring and different playing styles while Super Rugby seems to be the same thing game in game out. While the South tries to speed up the game artificially with new trials and law variations the North has shown you can do it with good refereeing which penalises cynical play harshly and encourages positive actions on the field. In terms of entertainment the North wins. In terms of winning? They are making strides but until they win another world cup or get a team to rank number 1 again for an extended time again they cant really say they are better than the South.
