Balshaw returns for Bath
January 24, 2002

Iain Balshaw has regained his place in the Bath team for Saturday's Heineken Cup quarter-final against Llanelli.

The England and Lions star was injured during Bath's victory over Swansea almost three weeks ago, and missed their final European group game against Biarritz as a result.

But he now reclaims the number 14 jersey from Rob Thirlby as the solitary change from that 31-13 demolition of Biarritz.

Hooker Mark Regan and number eight Dan Lyle both have to content themselves with places on the bench, while fly-half Mike Catt continues as captain.

Team: M Perry; I Balshaw, O Barkley, M Tindall, K Maggs; M Catt (capt), A Williams; D Barnes, A Long, S Emms, S Borthwick, D Grewcock, G Thomas, M Gabey, N Thomas.

Replacements: G Cooper, M Regan, A Hopcroft, R Thirlby, T Voyce, D Dorsey, D Lyle.
