European Challenge Cup: Bath v Toulon switched to Gloucester on Sunday
- Published
Bath's home European Challenge Cup game against Toulon will instead go ahead at Gloucester on Sunday after being postponed due to flooding.
The pitch at The Rec was deemed unplayable for Saturday's fixture.
Bath said there were "up to eight inches of standing water" in the stadium but Gloucester have made their Kingsholm ground available.
The rescheduled match will take place 24 hours later than originally planned with a 15:15 GMT kick-off.
"Due to heavy and persistent rainfall over recent days, the River Avon has exceeded its bank-full capacity," read a Bath statement.
"There has been flooding in and around entrances to The Rec and on the key approach routes to the stadium, particularly at the south end of the stadium.
"The pitch has also been deemed unplayable by the referee and club officials from both Bath and Toulon due to standing water at the south end of the field."
Bath have lost both games in this season's Challenge Cup, against Glasgow Warriors and Toulon.
Toulon, who have won both of theirs, are behind Group A leaders Cardiff on points difference only.
