Bernard Laporte, coach of the French national side, will be at Vicarage Road this weekend for Sarries' first home game of the new season against Bath. Laporte, who says he "won't close the door on anyone" when it comes to selection for Les Bleus, will be watching over the French contingent from both sides.

Bath prop Alessio Galasso and Sarries' Thomas Castaignede and Abdelatif Benazzi should be involved in the match, but Christian Califano will definitely be missing with an ankle injury.

The game kicks off at 3pm on Sunday.
