Bath Rugby will look to continue their winning ways in the Guinness Premiership when they take on Northampton Saints at Franklins' Gardens on Saturday (kick-off 1pm).

There are only two changes to the starting XV that faced Leicester Tigers last week. Eliota Fuimaono Sapolu replaces Shaun Berne at 12 and Jack Cuthbert comes in for the injured Joe Maddock (fractured eye-socket) at fullback.

Speaking on the challenges Bath will face against Northampton, Skills and Defence coach Brad Davis said: "I expect them to be mobile and athletic and they are likely to play a really up-tempo kind of game. So we have got to play our game and control the ball. We need to at least do that to get an equal share of possession. I think if we do that, we will come out on the right side of the score board. But we are under no illusion that it will be a big test for us coming on from our game against Leicester."

The game against Leicester was certainly one that will be remembered. The sheer drama of Butch James' try, which won the game in stoppage time, had the whole of The Rec on its collective feet. The emotion felt is explained by Bath Rugby forwards coach Mark Bakewell:

"I am a little bit more relaxed now than I was at end of that game! It was probably one of the most draining games emotionally I have had for a while. It was along a similar line to the Heineken Cup game against Toulouse, but we were on the right end of the result this time.

"It was one of the most physical games that we have encountered this season and our guys are still sore, but that is nothing less than what you would expect from two great clubs."
