After a closely-fought 22-25 victory in the South West of France in the opening round of the competition, the Club will be boosted by having home advantage on a Saturday afternoon in the West Country.

20 points from the boot of Rhys Priestland proved to be the difference between the two sides, as the Welsh international produced a faultless kicking display, with Semesa Rokoduguni crossing for Bath’s sole try of the evening.

Before the visit of Pau, Bath will head to Ashton Gate to play Bristol Rugby on Friday 13^th January (kick-off 19:45) and will be keen to maintain its position at the top of pool four following a five-try, bonus-point 38-3 victory against Cardiff Blues just over a week ago.

Bath won the first meeting in the competition 22-6 in October in the sides’ first competitive meeting in seven years with Matt Banahan, who ran from half way to secure the local bragging rights at the Rec. With a place in the knock-out stages on offer, it promises to be another thrilling two fixtures in the European Rugby Challenge Cup.
