By
Friday 15 Jan 2010

Stade Francais have named Scotland fullback Hugo Southwell at scrumhalf, alongside flyhalf Ignacio Mieres, for this weekend’s Heineken Cup clash with Bath in Paris.

Up front it is an all-England front row for the visitors. David Wilson, Lee Mears, David Flatman will have a big test on their hands up against the experienced trio of Sylvain Marconnet, Dimitri Szarzewski and Rodrigo Roncero but will know how important it is for them to get the upper hand.
