Gareth says that although playing for England gives him Kudos, he always enjoys coming home to play for Bath.

Bath is one of the oldest rugby clubs, says Gareth - and for locals, its part of the community and part of their history.

Also, the acclaimed director, Sir Peter Hall is putting on a season of plays at the Theatre Royal in Bath. Making his stage debut, is the actor, Hugo Speer who Alistair will be meeting.
