Bath team - TBC

By the sounds of it, it's as I feared from the start of the season and our achillies heel up front came back to haunt big style yesterday.

Just back from a fantastic trip to Bath - really enjoyed it apart from getting soaked & the result,Dragons bombed two tries which obviously would have changed things but in fairness Bath were stronger up front & desrved their win.
Afterwards the Tom Jones tribute was brilliant fun & was so well received by all the supporters that packed in to the tent.Surprised to see Gavin in there mixing with the supporters for photos & chatting,was great to see & had a very interesting conversation with him.
All in all it was a mega day/night out,well done Bath rugby for laying on food,drink & entertainment to keep us at the Rec 'til late
