Steve Tandy has named the Ospreys team to play Bath at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday (KO 3pm)
Even though both side were at different stages of their preparation, the Pro12 champions lost heavily to Clermont 49-25 last week in France.
They are now facing the West Country side for their last game of the pre-season before they travel to Treviso for the opening round of the RaboDirectPro12 season.
Head Coach Steve Tandy said: “This is a big step-up in our preparations for the new season. The trip to France was really beneficial for us, allowing the players to work hard in training without any distractions before a tough game against Clermont on the Friday night.
“The team has a bit more of a familiar look this week. There are a number of internationals coming back into the mix, some starting and some on the bench.
“It’s great to be back home at the Liberty Stadium for the first time since the PRO12 semi-final and I know that the players are looking forward to running out in front of our fans again.”
