Bath welcome French side Montferrand to the Rec for an early kick off on Saturday as the current league leaders look to take a giant step towards their second Parker Pen Cup Final in a row. Unfortunately however, injuries appear to be creeping back on to the Bath agenda.

Mike Tindall and Danny Grewcock are both definitely out of the game whilst Mike Catt, Simon Danielli and Andrew Higgins are all nursing injuries which make them doubtful. Tindall has a muscle injury, while Grewcock remains on the injured list because of a back problem picked up whilst playing for England.

On the positive side it is good to see the return of Jonathan Humphreys, however the amazing news for all Bath fans is the possibility of a start by long term casualty, Matt Perry. Pezza who has undergone surgery recently said this week "I must admit that it feels as though I have been given a new leg. Before the operation, it felt as though I was essentially running on one leg and dragging the other behind me."
