Bath’s Josh Ovens says that he is looking to impress his new clubs fans. The flanker, 21, has been on the fringes of Bath’s Premiership and Heineken Cup squads but gets a rare start against Newcastle on Saturday.

“It’s a really good chance for me and other players to go out and prove a point,” Ovens told BBC Radio Bristol.

“Every time I start or from the bench I’ve got to make sure I’m playing as well as I can to impress the coaches.”
