Can he do it again?

Today Butch James lines up for Bath against Sale Sharks. Bath have had some serious form in the HC and Premiership this year led by the Springbok pivot and his afrikaans partner in crime Michael Classens. As seen above Butchie's been playing his teets off up north and set up and scored the wining try agains former Bulls coachs Heyneke Meyers Leicester just a few short weeks ago. Aussie Steve Meehan has the Bath boys playing an exciting brand of rugby and with the help of the Durban hero at the helm Bath have been perenial table toppers. Also take a look out for freakish Giant Matt Banahan on the wing, with speed saffer Nick Abendanon at the back.

Sale are also bringing their A game with Dwane Peel and Jason White returing to the side. The Charlie Hodgson/Luke McAllister midfield combination is easily one of the worlds best and gives Sale potent attcking and kicking options. Also Andrew Sheridan shows us week after week what HE-MAN looks like on a rugby field.

Look for Bath to win a physical cracker of match at the Rec! (Quick Message for both teams - watch out for Justin Harrison at bottom of the rucks there are few dirtier Aussies in the world!)
