Bath come into this one after staging an impressive comeback in the second half of their last match, overcoming a 10-point deficit to secure a 45-27 victory against their arch-rivals Gloucester Rugby at Kingsholm.

Gloucester made a very fast start and were 20-10 up at the break, but Bath were excellent in the second period, with Thomas du Toit, Beno Obano and Ollie Lawrence all getting over the try line.
That result meant that the hosts avoided what would have been a third successive loss following a 24-18 defeat against Northampton Saints and a narrow one-point loss to Leicester Tigers at the end of last month.
Bath will now look to build on that result, but they will know that they will need to be at their best
