Sam Underhill makes his comeback from a hip problem for Bath on Saturday to raise the prospect of him appearing in the final two rounds of England’s Six Nations campaign.

The Gallagher Premiership clash with Exeter will be Underhill’s first outing since sustaining the injury in January, forcing him to miss the Championship games against Scotland, Italy and Wales.

Jack Willis took his place in England’s 28-man squad but the Wasps flanker sustained a serious knee injury against the Azzurri and is ruled out long term.

The vacancy created by Willis’ absence has been filled by 19-year-old Leicester back five forward George Martin and his spot would be under threat if Jones does opt to recall Underhill.

Beno Obano also starts for Bath after those who have played few minutes for England during the Six Nations were made available to their clubs.

Bristol have opted against picking back row Ben Earl or full-back Max Malins, despite their peripheral roles for England, and there is no place for Paolo Odogwu in Wasps’ 23 as he approaches 50 days without a game.
