Pertemps
Bees are set to recall scrum-half Mike Baxter for the National League One game
against London Welsh at Sharmans Cross Road on Saturday March 17 (3pm).Baxter joined Pertemps Bees from Bath last summer but the former Premiership player has featured little in the squad since Christmas as Reece Spee and Rod Petty have claimed the number nine jersey ahead of him.
But Baxter is in line to make a rare start against London Welsh because Spee will again have to play on the wing and Petty, an Australia sevens international, is likely to be switched to fly-half to deputise for Jon Higgins who sustained a shoulder injury in last weekend's defeat at Doncaster.
Skipper Mark Cornwell is likely to start the game on the bench having captained the Barbarians in their defeat by East Midlands in the 80th Mobbs Memorial Match at Bedford last night. Alex Davidson is Cornwell's likely deputy in the second row.
Fiji international flanker Akapusi Qera will sit out the London Welsh game after he damaged ribs in the Doncaster defeat.
