Bath Rugby v Gloucester Rugby is always one of the most anticipated derbies in the Aviva Premiership. This battle of the south west country rivals will be intensified by the fact that there is only one league place separating them, with Gloucester in eight position and Bath one place below.
It is hard to predict who will come out with the spoils - Bath have won their last four matches in all competitions since their 22-24 loss at Montpellier in the European Cup on 14 January, but they have only had only a solitary victory in their last eight encounters with Gloucester, a 24-8 triumph at The Rec on 27 December 2009.
However, before you put all your money on Gloucester, it's wise to consider that they have won just one away game in Aviva Premiership Rugby in the last twelve months: 24-19 at Exeter Chiefs on 5 November -- another south west country derby!
In this video three Bath players look ahead to the big match -- Olly Barkley ( a former Gloucester back), Lewis Moody and David Flatman.
