Bath head coach John Connolly has named his side for tomorrow's pre-season match with the Natal Sharks at the ABSA Stadium (kick off noon local time).

It is a strong starting 15 for the game, which will be a curtain raiser for the crunch Tri-Nations game between South Africa and Australia.

International centres Robbie Fleck and Mike Tindall will be paired in the midfield alongside Olly Barkley.

Lee Best comes back into the reckoning at full-back, while Scottish international Simon Danielli will be on the wing.

Matt Stevens will prop in place of the injured David Flatman, and James Hudson starts at lock with Danny Grewcock unable to play until August 31.

New signings Nick Walshe and Joe Maddock are among the reserves.

Connolly said: "This game is a big test and is an important part of our build-up to what is going to be a tough season in the Zurich Premiership and Heineken Cup."

Bath: Best, Danielli, Fleck, Tindall, Daniel, Barkley, Wood, Feaunati, Lipman, Beattie, Hudson, Borthwick, Bell, Humphreys (c), Stevens.

Subs: Barnes, Mears, Goodman, Scaysbrook, Delve, Walshe, Malone, Davey, Crockett, Maddock, Perry.
