Underhill back in action

-

ENGLAND flanker Sam Underhill, fly-half Josh Matavesi and wing Will Muir are recalled as Bath host old rivals Leicester.

The trio missed the European Challenge Cup quarter-final win against London Irish and Matavesi’s return sees tyro 10 Orlando Bailey drop to the bench.

Leicester also reached the last four of the Challenge Cup last weekend with victory over Newcastle Falcons.

England’s George Ford and Ben Youngs return as the Tigers’ half-back pairing, with Richard Wiggleswor­th on the bench, while Dan Cole and Elis Genge are also named in the front row with Tom Youngs.

Leicester are looking for their first Premiershi­p season double over Bath since 2011 having won their meeting at Welford Road in January. A win for either side could see them climb into the top six.
