Rugby League convert Regan Grace set for competitive debut
By Jon Newcombe
Winger Regan Grace is set to make his official Bath Rugby debut against Bedford Blues this weekend in Round 3 of the Premiership Rugby Cup.
The 28-year-old former St Helens RL star has been out of action until now after undergoing surgery on the hamstring injury he suffered whilst on tour with Wales this summer.
Mirroring the Joseph Suaalii situation with Australia, Grace was selected by Wales despite not playing a first-class game of rugby union but unlike his Australian counterpart he is yet to be capped after an injury-plagued switch from the 13-man code.
Grace arrived at Bath from Racing 92 rehabbing an Achilles injury and only has two friendly appearances under his belt - against Gloucester and Leinster last season.
There is also a welcome return for England A centre, Max Ojomoh, who has been sidelined all season with a foot injury.
Meanwhile, Mackenzie Graham is handed his first start of the season, joining captain Ewan Richards in the second row, as Bath look to make it three wins out of three in the competition.

Good analysis, but perhaps too kind to Marcus.
The fact that he's so focused on creating opportunities for himself and not others doesn't just make him a less rounded fly-half than Ford and Fin, but has completely devastated England's attempts to build an attacking system.
