One week on - one week off. That's the pattern for Wasps' players at the moment as Lee Blackett picks the team to face Bath which ran out for him two weeks against Exeter Chiefs.
It means there are a dozen changes to one which went down to Sarries last week with only Zach Kibirige, Thomas Young and Jimmy Gopperth keeping their shirts.
Gaby Oghre is the one "new boy" as he claims his 50th cap - an honour he shares with fellow front-row Jeff Toomaga-Allen.
Some positional changes with Gopperth at inside centre and Jacob Umaga returning at fly half.
Some fresh blood on the bench with hooker Mike van Vuuren set to make his debut - he's on loan from Chinnor - while loosehead Zac Nearchou is also hoping to make his club debut from the bench. .
Wasps: 15 Marcus Watson 14 Zach Kibirige 13 Michael Le Bourgeois 12 Jimmy Gopperth 11 Josh Bassett 10 Jacob Umaga 9 Dan Robson 1 Robin Hislop 2 Gabriel Oghre 3 Jeff Toomaga-Allen 4 Vaea Fifita 5 Elliott Stooke 6 Brad Shields (capt) 7 Thomas Young 8 Tom Willis.
Changes: Michael van Vuuren, Zac Nearchou, Elliot Millar-Mills, Tim Cardall, Nizaam Carr, Will Porter,,Alex McHenry, Ali Crossdale.
