Have to confess the only Bath name I recognise here is McConnachie... evidently their other Premiership Cup fixture against Exeter is taking precedence!

Worth comparing with the teams from the home Heineken Cup game in 2001, which was our first season as regular supporters at Myreside. 6-0 up turned into 6-37 down. It also shows what a star-filled first team Bath had back then.

I wish I'd bought that particular Edinburgh shirt, there hasn't been one I've liked as much since.
