Hooper: Set for 100th Bath appearance

The Londoners currently sit second bottom in the table, four points clear of basement dwellers Newcastle.

Wasps and Newcastle go head-to-head on the final day of the season and, as such, Saturday's game against Bath has extra importance.

Young has made three changes to his team, with one coming amongst the backs and the other two up front.

An injured Ryan Davis misses the opportunity to face his former club and is replaced by Dom Waldouck at inside centre.

In the pack, Joe Launchbury moves from the back-row to lock, with Sam Jones shifting to number six and Billy Vunipola taking over at number eight.

"It's obviously a massive game tomorrow and the boys are well aware of what's at stake," said Young.

"We've got to be much more accurate than we have been and get off to a strong start. We're up against a side full of quality so we're in no doubt as to the challenge that we're going to face."

Bath skipper Stuart Hooper will make his 100th appearance for the club as he captains a team that sees four changes to the one defeated against Sale last time out.

In the only change to the back division, youngster Tom Heathcote is replaced at fly-half by World Cup-winner Stephen Donald.

It's almost all change in the front row with prop Nathan Catt the only survivor from last week's game - he is joined up front by David Wilson and Lee Mears.

Meanwhile, Ben Skirving switches from flanker to lock at the expense of Dave Attwood, with Josh Ovens taking over the number six shirt.
