Bath Rugby make seven changes for Sale visit

Bath have made seven changes to the team that earned derby day bragging rights over Gloucester last weekend for the the visit of Sale.

Jonathan Joseph, Dave Attwood and Zach Mercer are three of the men who come into the side while captain Guy Mercer and Adam Hastings are on the bench.

Joseph's inclusion in the centre to partner Matt Banahan means Aled Brew has been shifted to left wing while co-captain George Ford will resume his succesful partnership with Kahn Foutali'i in the half backs.

The front row, meanwhile is unchanged but the second row will tomorrow be occupied by the returning Attwood and recent signing Elliott Stooke.

Anthony Watson though will miss out due to a broken jaw suffered in England training.
