Bath Rugby v Leinster at the Rec

Commenting on the announcement that over 1,000 Leinster supporters will be descending on Bath, OLSC president Rebecca Leggett said: “After last week’s result, getting back to winning ways is so important, and this will be helped by the dedicated Blue Army present in The Rec on Saturday”.

Leinster take on Bath in Round 2 of the Champions Cup and there have been a few changes made to the side that faced off to Wasps at the RDS last weekend.

“It was a great performance by our squad last week, but we know we need to back it up this weekend”, Wasps rugby director Young said.

“As a player and as a coach, you want to test yourself against the very best”.

“These games are what you dream of playing when you are a kid”.

Meanwhile Ben Te’o and Luke Fitzgerald, who both missed their side’s defeat to Wasps, return to start together in midfield.

“Toulon are a fantastic team”.

Wasps and RC Toulon fans are welcome to watch the European Champions Cup pool game between ASM Clermont Auvergne and Ospreys live on the big screen in the Jaguar Hall before Wasps’ match, where there will also be the Wasps Interactive Zone to entertain children, alongside live music in the Fan Village.

“We have prepared well this week and are heading to France confident that if we have clarity, if everybody knows their roles, then we can cause them problems”.

“Peter has a proven track record of developing young talent and providing them with the essential attributes to maximize their potential”, says Colin McEntee, the IRFU’s high performance manager.

Justine added: “We have all the plans in place to transform the stadium and as soon as the final whistle blows on Coventry City’s game against Gillingham, we will be taking down the football goals and replacing them with rugby posts and putting in new lines on the pitch”.

“Fail to hit the required standard, fall short in any area of our game, and it will be a long afternoon”.
