Bath are keen to cement their place at the top of the Guinness Premiership when they take on Sale Sharks this weekend. Learning from previous experience of injuries, Head Coach Steve Meehan is keen to rest and rotate the players once again, to maintain the west country side's winning run. "You get to this stage of the season and it's never ideal to have to rest someone but, at the same time, if you don't take an enforced rest then we have seen what happened to someone like Nick Abendanon (who picked up a hamstring injury)." "We've got to a stage where there are a couple of guys who have pretty much been running covered in Band Aids and we have had our eye on those guys and have been a little concerned about them from a fatigue point of view. " Record kicker, Olly Barkley will therefore be on the bench, with Shaun Berne starting at fly half. Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu steps in at inside centre, with Andrew Higgins back on the wing. The Bath team to face Sale is as follows:
15. Nick Abendanon
