Bath v Toulon switched to Premiership rivals stadium on Sunday

Bath’s European Challenge Cup game against Toulon, originally scheduled to be played at The Rec, has been moved to Gloucester’s Kingsholm ground on Sunday due to flooding which made the pitch unplayable.

The match will start at 15:15 GMT, 24 hours later than originally planned.

“Due to heavy and persistent rainfall over recent days, the River Avon has exceeded its bank-full capacity,” read a Bath statement.

“There has been flooding in and around entrances to The Rec and on the key approach routes to the stadium, particularly at the south end of the stadium.

“The pitch has also been deemed unplayable by the referee and club officials from both Bath and Toulon due to standing water at the south end of the field.”
