Falcons swoop into The Rec.

After taking the game to the defending champions but coming up short in the end, the plucky Newcastle Falcons make their way to The Rec. to meet Bath in battle. 

Quins had to dig deep to see off the challenge thrown down to them by Newcastle, the final whistle sounding with the score at 26-20. 

Meanwhile, Bath ended up on the wrong side of a nail-biting, one-point game against Sale Sharks at the AJ Bell. 

Thus, two losing sides from the first round will do battle in the second and the hunger to initiate winning ways is sure to spur the teams on into a good contest.  

The last time they faced each other, Bath took the honours 38-19 at Kingston Park, making sure they got the job done after the Falcons emerged victorious in their Round 1 encounter.
