Bath Rugby (9) v Bristol Shoguns (11)

· Bath have now won their last two Premiership matches against Sharks and Newcastle - it has been almost twelve months since they managed three in a row. They beat Sale 24-18 last time out at the Rec.
· It took Bristol nineteen attempts before they managed to beat Bath in the league, but the last four matches have been split - two wins apiece. They still have to taste league victory at the Rec though - Bath winning all eleven previous league games at the ground against their near neighbours. The Shoguns have lost four in a row away from home.
