    Did you know in their spare time, Premiership directors of rugby spend nights working the doors at a local nightclub near you?

    I jest, of course, but Wasps boss Dai Young and Leicester's main man Richard Cockerill look like they could more than hold their own in that role don't they?

    Bath v Newcastle (15:00 BST)

    Summer arrivals Luke Charteris and Zach Mercer will make their Bath debuts as boss Todd Blackadder makes changes.

    Injuries to Taulupe Faletau and David Denton have meant a back-row tweak, but there is no place for winger Aled Brew, who joined from Newport Gwent Dragons.

    Newcastle make only one change to their line-up, with Alex Rogers replacing Taione Vea in the front row.

    Former Bath half Michael Young is named among the replacements, as is back-rower Sean Robinson.

    England international Dan Cole will start for Leicester at prop after beginning last weekend's 38-31 comeback win at Gloucester on the bench.

    Mike Fitzgerald returns at lock, while Mike Williams and Owen Williams are fit to return on a strong Tigers bench alongside England internationals Ellis Genge and Ben Youngs.

    Dan Mugford missed a late penalty for Sale to win the game at Newcastle last week, but handed his first start after the late withdrawal of AJ MacGinty, the Sharks fly-half kicked 14 points in their 19-10 win over Harlequins.

    It was his first ever Premiership start after moving to Manchester from Championship side Nottingham over the summer.

    David Seymour got Sale's only try of the game with England flanker Chris Robshaw crossing for Quins, who saw Mat Luamanu sent off late on.

    On a night when a new artificial pitch was unveiled at Sixways, Worcester had to last 28 minutes with 14 men to take two points against rivals Gloucester as they drew 23-23.

    Late tries from Matt Scott and Henry Purdy rescued a draw for the Cherry and Whites to leave both teams still searching for a first win of the season
