BATH'S Challenge Cup game against Toulon was postponed yesterday because of flooding. The game will take place today at Kingsholm.
The pitch at The Rec was deemed unplayable and Bath said there were “up to eight inches of standing water” in the stadium.
Bath have lost both games in this season's Challenge Cup, against Glasgow Warriors and Toulon, and must win for any chance of progressing. Toulon, who have won both games, are behind Group A leaders Cardiff on points difference.
This weekend marks 25 years since Bath won the Heineken Cup and hooker Niall Annett is desperate to bring trophies to the club.
“It's a big game – it's a cup final of sorts” Annett said.
“European days are special. There's a 25 year reoccurrence of the triumph that they had so there's a special vibe around town and hopefully we can put in a performance that is reflective of that. We are working hard every week and every day and every session to try and build and bring those special days back.”
