Over 20,000 fans are expected to cheer on Exiles as they look to get their Aviva Premiership campaign back on track following successive defeats.

Hagan and Mulchrone have shaken off rib and calf injuries respectively while George Skivington will captain Irish.

Matt Parr, David Paice and Hagan will make up the front row with Nic Rouse joining Skivington in the second row.

Kieran Low, Blair Cowan and Ofisa Treviranus make up the back row.

Darren Allinson and Shane Geraghty will partner at half back with Eamonn Sheridan and Mulchrone together in the centre.

Marland Yarde, Topsy Ojo and James O’Connor are named in the back three while Chris Hala'ufia is on the bench.

Irish director of rugby Brian Smith said: “The St Patrick’s Party fixture is always a great occasion and with a huge crowd expected the team want to put in a performance our supporters will be proud of.

"Bath will pose a difficult challenge but we have prepared well for the contest and will go into the match determined to fight for a victory and to give Declan Danaher a fitting send off.”

Bath make nine changes to the side beaten in the semi-finals of the LV=Cup by Exeter Chiefs a fortnight ago.

Former Exiles Matt Garvey and Anthony Watson both start while George Ford starts at fly-half and Stuart Hooper captains the visitors.
