The tour will have a focus on the tests and a focus on development,

The impact that he has, and will continue to have on the teams that he plays with, cannot be underestimated,

Training in that cold pool of a morning really tests you, whether you really want to do it or not,

Tests show that remote interpreting can be done but it is not necessarily pleasant for the interpreters and not appropriate for all circumstances.

This is a very important game for both sides. A game against Bath has always been one of the biggest in the Premiership - our home match against them at the Causeway Stadium earlier this season was a tough one - and added to that, they must have taken a lot from their recent success in reaching the knock-out phase of the Heineken, which we failed to do. Also, it's good to see Brian Ashton back with them, and we know that in facing a team of his we will be asked questions, both tactically and technically.

The enthusiasm and experience he can share with other players has already had an impact since he returned to full training a couple of weeks ago, and his leadership and physicality on the pitch will be a massive plus.
