Houston re-joined the Blue, Black and White during the week on a short-term contract has gone straight into the Bath side at number eight for the 15:00pm kick-off.

Director of Rugby Todd Blackadder has clearly been impressed with Houston in training as he said:

"Leroy has been fantastic since he arrived. We have slotted him into a young back row to give us some experience and grunt from the base of the scrum.

"We are looking forward to seeing how Dan Bowden, Anthony Watson and Henry Thomas go as they return from injury, and also how Matt Banahan goes at outside centre.

"Obviously we were really pleased with the result against Newcastle last weekend, but we have not got carried away this week.

"There is still lots for us to work on, and the squad have applied themselves really well as we have applied themselves really well as we have prepared for the visit of Worcester."
