18-year-old Isaac Mears could debut for Bath in Champions Cup semi-final after scrum-half injury crisis
Bath Rugby faces a scrum-half crisis ahead of their Champions Cup semi-final against Bordeaux-Begles on Sunday, with first-choice Ben Spencer doubtful and back-up Bernard van der Linde undergoing ankle surgery. 18-year-old Isaac Mears, who only signed his first professional contract this month, could make his debut as the club's only remaining specialist option. Coach Johann van Graan has also hinted at the possibility of a positional switch, referencing South Africa's 2023 World Cup final strategy.
