COBUS VISAGIE returns for Saracens' trip to Bath tomorrow (Saturday, 2.15pm kick-off).

The South African tighthead prop suffered a badly bruised left elbow after an accidental collision with one of his own team-mates in the 19-8 victory over London Irish prior to the three-week international break.

His inclusion is one of four changes Saracens boss Alan Gaffney has made to the side that beat Gloucester last weekend. With Andy Farrell and Fabio Ongaro away on international duty, Rodd Penney and Matt Cairns come into the starting line-up while Nick Lloyd comes into the front row.

Cencus Johnston, who made his first Sarries start against Gloucester, is on the bench alongside Shane Byrne, Tom Ryder, Paul Gustard, Alan Dickens, Tim Taylor and Richard Haughton.

Adam Powell and Tom Mercey are away with England Under-20's while Ben Johnston, Ben Russell and Thomas Castaignede remained sidelined by injury. Kevin Yates is rested.

"Bath have a very impressive home record this season so we know it's going to be tough," said Gaffney. "We have put ourselves in a good position in the Premiership and want to build on that.

"We've decided to rest Kevin Yates this weekend and Richard Hill also continues in the back row. He has done well since his return from injury and it's been tough on Dave Seymour that he's not got more game time recently although he is pushing hard for a place. But Hilly played very well against Gloucester last weekend and deserves to keep his spot."

Gaffney added: "Andy Farrell is a loss and having lost Ben Johnston to injury and Adam Powell to England Under-20's, it puts a bit of a drain on our 12 reserves. So we've been forced to change things around in the centres with Rodd Penney getting the opportunity to come into the side and Kevin Sorrell switching to inside centre."

Centre Johnston has been out of action for 12 weeks but stepped up his fitness during the club's recent training camp in Jersey following a groin operation before Christmas.

"He is still a few weeks away from fitness," Gaffney said. "It's something we want to make sure is right before he comes back and we're not going to rush him."

Saracens: Scarbrough, de Vedia, Penney, Sorrell, Ratuvou, Jackson, de Kock; Lloyd, Cairns, Visagie, Fullarton, Raiwalui, Chesney, Hill, Skirving.

Replacements: Byrne, C Johnston, Ryder, Gustard, Dickens, Taylor, Haughton.
