It's game day.
Gloucester Rugby host Bath Rugby at Kingsholm tonight in Round Four of the 2026/27 Gallagher PREM in the latest edition of English rugby's most famous derby, The West Country Derby.
With Storm Austen battering the country, the Cherry and Whites come into the game sitting top of the Gallagher PREM and off the back of an epic 36-36 draw with defending Champions Cup holders Bordeaux Begles last Friday.
But Bath are only two points off Gloucester in the league table, but look some way off their best form, having lost their last two games 71-48 away at Northampton Saints in the PREM before losing 32-14 to Montpellier at home in Europe on Saturday night.
The game kicks off at 7.45pm UK time on Friday night.
