Date: 24/09/11 / 1500 BST
Gloucester will host local rivals, Bath, on Saturday. Bath will want to prove their potential after a range of summer signings in the off-season. Gloucester however will look to improve on a shaky start to the new season and prove to the Kingsholm faithful that they are capable of winning silverware this season. In this post I will analyse the game, squads and most importantly give the Scrum Five score prediction!

Score Predictions: 23-17 to Gloucester. I'm sure it will go right to the wire but whatever the score it will be a very good match - ScrumFive's editor will be Tweeting for @gloucesterrugby so follow them for updates and at half time we will do some Tweets on the game as well.
