Jonathan Humphreys returns to captain Bath as they travel to Dublin to face Leinster in the Pool-topping clash at Lansdowne Road tomorrow.

The former Wales skipper missed last weekend's 22-12 victory over Bourgoin at the Rec with a shoulder strain, but returns to take his place in a front row that also sees the return of Duncan Bell.

Flanker Michael Lipman and scrum-half Martyn Wood also return to the starting line-up.

With Matt Perry sidelined, Lee Best awaiting a hernia operation and Joe Maddock still a couple of weeks away from full fitness, Chris Malone continues at full back

Bath: Malone, Higgins, Fleck, Tindall, Daniel, Barkley, Wood, Barnes, Humphreys (capt), Bell, Borthwick, Grewcock, Beattie, Lipman, Feaunati. Subs: Mears, Stevens, Delve, Fidler, Scaysbrook, Walshe, Crockett.
