Powerhouse lock Dave Attwood has warned Bath's Aviva Premiership rivals that the club are 'in it to win it' this year. Bath agonisingly missed out on the Aviva Premiership play-offs last season - however they have recruited wisely in the summer as they look to bounce back, with Attwood one of a number of key arrivals. Stephen Donald, Francois Louw, Dan Hipkiss and Carl Fearns are among those that have also agreed to move to the Rec, with wildcard recruit Kyle Eastmond is set to cross codes at the end of the Super League season. Former British and Irish Lions supremo Sir Ian McGeechan will also be in sole charge following the end-of-season departure of Steve Meehan. And Attwood, who has made the move from west country rivals Gloucester, insists domestic glory is Bath's goal this season. "Bath want to be Premiership champions at the end of the season," Attwood told skysports.com.
