Bath winger Matt Banahan has thanked the club's coaches for developing him into an England player.

Banahan, who was converted from a lock last season, makes his England Saxons debut against the USA on Saturday after scoring 16 tries for Bath.

The 21-year-old told BBC Radio Bristol: "All three coaches at Bath have made a massive contribution to my development.

"I've been given this opportunity now and hopefully I can repay them with a good performance."
