Last chance to watch BUCS Super Rugby at University of Bath this season as Nottingham Trent pay first visit
The University of Bath will host its final BUCS Super Rugby league game of the 2017-18 season tonight (6.30pm) when Nottingham Trent University make their first visit to the Sports Training Village.
Nottingham Trent are looking for their first win since being promoted to the league last season but ran Team Bath all the way in the reverse fixture, with Will Flinn’s last-kick conversion giving the visitors a dramatic 27-26 victory.
Team Bath, sponsored by IKON Construction and supported by Investigo, welcome captain Will Britton and flanker Miles Reid back into the starting line-up after they helped Bath Rugby qualify for the Anglo-Welsh Cup semi-finals with victories against Newcastle Falcons and Ospreys.
James Catlin also makes his first start of the season at number eight – he came off the bench in the previous two matches after returning from a long-term injury.
Tonight’s match will once again take place on the athletics infield at the Sports Training Village and admission to spectators is free.
