But forget the nostalgia. Saturday isn't about Johann van Graan bumping into his old crew, even if that subplot hangs in the air.

This is about something simpler - both sides have talked a big game early in the season. Now they have to prove it.

Bath under van Graan aren't the flaky outfit of old. The makeover wasn't overnight but you'd want blinkers on not to see it.
