Welsh international loosehead Paul James will be facing some old friends this evening as he makes his first pre-season appearance for Bath Rugby against former club Ospreys at The Rec (7.30pm).
However, Bath fans will have to wait a bit longer to see Gavin Henson in action as, despite head coach Mike Ford saying he was "back in the mix" after injury, he is not in the 23.
James takes his place in the front row alongside England duo hooker Rob Webber and tighthead David Wilson.
Elsewhere in the pack, Dave Attwood and newly-retained captain Stuart Hooper combine forces in the engine room, with Matt Garvey, Guy Mercer and Leroy Houston complementing each other across the back row.
Experience and youth combine in the half-backs as Peter Stringer partners George Ford. Matt Banahan replaces Tom Biggs in the 11 jersey, with Fijian flyer Semesa Rokoduguni occupying the opposite wing.
Kyle Eastmond and Jonathan Joseph once again combine in midfield, while Ollie Devoto continues at full-back.
Bath Rugby team to face Ospreys: 15 Ollie Devoto, 14 Semesa Rokoduguni, 13 Jonathan Joseph, 12 Kyle Eastmond, 11 Matt Banahan, 10 George Ford, 9 Peter Stringer; 1 Paul James, 2 Rob Webber, 3 David Wilson, 4 Stuart Hooper (c), 5 Dave Attwood, 6 Matt Garvey, 7 Guy Mercer, 8 Leroy Houston.
