Facing up to the Warriors

After an uneasy couple of weeks in the Guinness Premiership, Bath Rugby's thoughts now turn to the Heineken Cup.

And it's back-to-back matches with the Glasgow Warriors that the club has on its plate, starting with a game at The Rec on Sunday.

With Toulouse at the top of the group, nothing less than two victories is going to be good enough for Bath over the next couple of weeks.

And on Sunday, there'll be wanting to secure a bonus-point win - as prop Duncan Bell told me when I meet up with him on Wednesday (see the accompanying video).

So it looks like some expansive rugby could once again be on the cards at The Rec.

But Bath, as well as playing expansive stuff, will need to ensure their kicking game out of hand is better than in recent weeks. Poor kicking has resulted in Bath failing to clear their lines in the last two matches and that in turn has put them on the back foot.

So come on Butch - hoof the ball in to touch as well as you've been nudging it between the sticks.
