AND SO IT BEGINS…PERPIGNAN v BATH
JRR Tolkien didn’t actually pen those words in Lord of the Rings, rather Peter Jackson’s scriptwriters gave them to Théoden to utter at the start of the Battle of Helm’s Deep. Since then, the phrase has found its way into popular usage signifying the start of some challenging task. Bath Rugby won’t be facing hordes of Orcs, although on second thoughts we could all probably name a few of our rivals who fall into that category, but change is always challenging. Depending on how you deal with it you may either expose weaknesses and succumb to threats or preferably you might exploit it to reinforce strengths and grasp opportunities. So how are we placed to meet the challenges that the new season will bring?

REBUILD AND REVIVE: 2027 PREVIEW
Bath Rugby’s pre-season starts this week in Perpignan (more on that tomorrow), heralding the start of a crucial campaign for the club. The first bricks of the proposed new Rec stadium should be laid this coming summer, hopefully on an accelerated timetable and fans will hope for a return to honours after semi-final frustration in all 3 tournaments last season. So will we see continuing evolution of a dynasty to match the stadium ambitions? Let’s examine the chances.

Cornish Pirates v Saracens Pre-Season Friendly Preview

Goodbye, and Good Luck - this year's womens squad departures
Ah, these season is one of goodbyes to some legends in our women’s squad. It’s never nice to say farewell and good luck, but it must be done unfortunately. We've reached the point where its fair to post a womens squad leavers article, and this year it's quite an emotional one. Having won the PWR though, we can at least say our leavers have gone on a high. I was going to do another piece separately for the joiners, but as far as I'm aware apart from maybe some academy players being promoted, we haven't signed anybody so will leave that for either further down the line or for a separate thread to be made about it.
