The following weekend, August 20, Bath travel to Parc Eirias in North Wales for a meeting with Pro12 side Scarlets.

         

The final fixture of the pre-season tour will occur at the RDS Arena in Dublin as they take on three-time European champions Leinster on Friday August 26.  

"We're really pleased to be getting stuck into some tough games against very good opposition for pre-season," saidCoach Darren Edwards.

"It'll give some of our new recruits, such as Taulupe Faletau and Luke Charteris, the chance to play alongside their new teammates ahead of what promises to be an exciting new season for Bath Rugby,"he added.

Work is currently underway at the Recreation Ground to increase the capacity by 1 000 seats, which will see an even bigger and better venue in the heart of the city in preparation for a thrilling new season.

Fixtures for the 2016/17 Premiership will be announced on Thursday July 7.
