West Country challenge awaits local rivals

Bath Rugby is among the three biggest clubs in the West Country participating in an exciting round-robin competition to kick off the 2015/16 season. With the new Premiership season delayed by Rugby World Cup 2015, supporters will be able to witness a brilliant display of club rugby as Bath vie for bragging rights with Exeter Chiefs and Gloucester Rugby in a series of thrilling local derbies. "The Aviva Premiership commences on 17th October 2015, creating a six-week window for games in September and the first half of October," said Tarquin McDonald, Managing Director of Bath Rugby.
