Match preview

Losing has become a habit for Bath this season and it’s one a youthful squad will struggle to break when they visit Gloucester in the Premiership Rugby Cup.

The Rec outfit have lost 13 of their last 14 matches, including all seven of this term’s league fixtures, and have made it clear that developing the next generation is the priority in this competition.

Bath have named an inexperienced matchday squad with an average age of 22.6 to face a Gloucester team with a good sprinkling of recognised talent.

Former England internationals Ben Morgan and Billy Twelvetrees start for a Cherry and Whites team who have the potential to embarrass their West Country rivals.
