Bath v Leicester
A tough start to the season for two of the top clubs in English rugby. Leicester, in their centenary season, and holders for the last two years of the club championship, are led by British Lion Peter Wheeler, as well as having six other English internationals to call upon. Bath, with the guiding hand of English fly-half John Horton behind the scrum, had many notable victories last season, particularly in Wales, and will be hoping to start this season with a flourish.
