Leicester Tigers lost both centres to injury ahead of their Aviva Premiership clash with Bath at The Rec.
Manu Tuilagi (groin) and Ant Allen (knee) failed late fitness tests and with back-ups Seremaia Bai and Christian Loamanu also missing, Leicester turned to Owen Williams and Niki Goneva to fill the void.
Matt Smith came onto the wing for Goneva, while Leicester were forced to name two scrum-halves on the bench to cover the back line in the form of David Mele and Sam Harrison.
Hosts Bath named former Tiger George Ford at fly-half as they looked to make it three wins out of three.
