BRENDON Daniel insists Bath's minds are focussed only on Northampton this weekend despite the increasing spectre of next weekend's Powergen Cup final at Twickenham.
The New Zealand-born winger is in line for his 100th Premiership appearance against the Saints in front of a sell-out Rec tomorrow (3pm), having completed his recovery at Newcastle two weeks ago after an eight-week hamstring lay-off.
Cup final fever has hit Bath, with 20,000 tickets already sold to their fans for next weekend's Twickenham showdowns against Leeds.
But Daniel added: "I am not thinking beyond the weekend at the moment.
"It is all about taking your opportunities and those who play on Saturday have been given a chance to stake their claim."
He added: "It is a good milestone to reach, but it is just good to be back in the mix and being given the opportunity to play after what has been a long lay-off."
Daniel isn't the only player chasing a landmark tomorrow. Full-back Matt Perry looks set to make his 200th appearance in a Bath jersey, days after signing a new two-year contract.
Meanwhile, tickets for the Powergen Cup final are still on sale through the ticket office on 0871 721 1865.
They are priced at £40 for adults and £20 for children on the side of the pitch and £25 for adults and £15 for juniors behind the try line.
GLOUCESTER may consider Australian fly-half Duncan McRae for tomorrow's home match with Leeds.
McRae completed 65 minutes in Monday night's 36-10 win over Saracens in the Zurich A League.
The 30-year-old Aussie has missed a number of months through neck and knee injuries.
