After a bit of a rest for the Six Nations Bath get back down to business this Sunday when they travel up to Adams Park, the home of London Wasps in a game from which they will do well to secure a losing bonus point.

Wasps have won their last four Premiership matches and their last four games at home. Bath's only win in their last five outings was 30-9 over Saracens at the Rec on 1st March and have won only two away games this season (London Irish and Newcastle) so this is a real challenge for Michael Foley and his team. Foley and Brian Smith have named a 23 man squad with Mike Tindall and Adam Vander not making the trip.

The Wasps game is the first of three in seven days for Bath, but Foley is confident believing his side is ready for the challenge.“Three games in seven days is an enormous challenge for us. However, preparation has been extremely good this week and we will be looking to bounce back after what was an unacceptable performance against Northampton Saints. Our destiny is in our own hands.”

Looking at the ERE Poll for this week few of us believe Bath can win this game but they must at least put together a performance that stands them in good stead for the 8-pointer later in the week against London Irish.

"Come on You Baaath!"
