Harry Davies to make Bath Rugby debut in Anglo-Welsh cup clash with Gloucester
Fullback Harry Davies will make his Bath bow when they take on rivals Gloucester in the third match of the Anglo-Welsh cup on Friday night.
Davies, who signed from the Cardiff Blues in the summer, will be alongside Jeff Williams and Aled Brew in the back three with Williams and Brew on the wings.
Australia international Ben Tapuai will be in midfield with Jack Wilson while a youthful front row, which has an average age of just 22, will be made up of Beno Obano, Shaun Knight, and Jack Walker.
Levi Douglas and Tom Ellis are in the second row and captain Guy Mercer is in the forward pack with Paul Grant.
Director of Rugby, Todd Blackadder, said: “I was really pleased with the way the team played last weekend and it was the just reward for all the hard work they’ve been putting in to perfect certain elements of our game.
“Tomorrow’s game will give an opportunity to a number of players to show what they can do in the first team and there is no greater incentive than a home derby against Gloucester.
“The Anglo-Welsh ties against Gloucester and Newcastle will act as a platform for our next Aviva Premiership fixture and it is really important to strengthen the foundations that have been put in place ready for Northampton next month.”
