Preview of Baths derby against Gloucester

Bath held an open training session today allowing many of the fans who are on half term to go to the rec and see their favorite players in action.

There was a good turnout with many children there ready for autographs. 

Bath's squad seems to be returning to full strength. Many of the injured players have started training again this week and are expected to be in the mix for this Sundays game against Gloucester. 

Bath vs Gloucester is always a big game and with it being a local derby the crowd are sure to be at their best. The questions Bath want to know is what Gloucester side will turn up and play. Will it be a team willing to play out of their own 22 or will they not really turn up and get thrashed. I expect that with much emphasis being put on these local derby's we can expect a great game this weekend at the rec. 

Rhys Priestland and Toby Faletau have been selected in the Wales squad for the Autumn Internationals. Luke Charteris was unfortunate not to be included in the squad. It seems that Gatland has picked a young squad ready to develop in time for the world cup in 2019.

England release their squad on Thursday.
