The Clash (rugby union)
The Clash is an annual rugby union match hosted by Bath Rugby around Easter time each year. It is one of Bath's regular home matches in Premiership Rugby but it is moved from their usual home ground at the Recreation Ground (14,500 capacity[1]) to the much larger Twickenham Stadium in London (82,000 seats[2]).
There are other high-profile matches in London between Premiership Rugby clubs at other times, particularly the London Double Header and the Big Game (also at Twickenham) and Saracens' European or Premiership games at Wembley Stadium and London Stadium.
