Gavin Henson's never been one to shy away from the limelight.

Having already nailed one drop-goal for Bristol, he tries his luck from even further out but this attempt misses wide.

Perhaps that has affected his confidence, as the Welshman then skews a penalty attempt wide from long range.

Bristol are penalised around the halfway line and Rhys Preistland kicks the points from range.

He was apparently struggling from the tee during the warm-up, but no signs of any nerves here.

The hosts are certainly fired up for his derby, with their Premiership status also at stake.

Bath have had more possession and territory but Jordan Crane typifies Bristol's defensive effort, turning over possession in his own 22.

Elsewhere, Tom Varndell is off for a head injury assessment.

Wasps yet to get into their free-flowing best at the Ricoh Arena.

But after a first half where they were blitzed at Sale last week, Dai Young will be a lot happier with what he has seen so far.

It's a battle of the two Welsh number tens at Ashton Gate, and Bristol's Gavin Henson is the first to show his class.

The veteran lands a fantastic effort from all of 40 metres to open the scoring.

A big chance goes begging for the visitors on the 10-minute mark.

Paul Grant and Harry Davies break with pace, showing power and agility in equal measure, but the final pass is fumbled forwards by David Denton.

Had Denton known his team-mate Ben Tapuai was behind him and in a better position - he surely would've left it for him and Bath would have a try.

Just as it looks like Willie le Roux is about to burst through for a try on his first start for Wasps, the referee brings play back for an earlier penalty.

Billy Twelvetrees judges the wind well for the first points of the game.

A very windy afternoon in Coventry, you can hear on the commentary how much it is whipping around the stadium.

Lots of kicking from both sides in the opening stages as they look to gain territory.

Well played Will Hurrell.

His Bristol team-mates are half asleep, but he drives his feet across to take Bath's Harry Davies into touch just before he touches down.

An excellent tackle.

Showing how much playing at home can be an advantage, all three sides playing in front of their own fans secured a win yesterday.

Champions Saracens beat Sale 29-18 but dropped to third because Exeter secured a bonus point in their 36-14 victory over Newcastle at Sandy Park.

Meanwhile, at Franklin's Gardens hooker Mike Haywood scored two tries as Northampton overcame Worcester 24-14.
