CUP hero Chris Malone is determined to help Bath end their Wasps' hoodoo at the Causeway Stadium tomorrow (5.35pm).

The reigning European and Premiership champions have won the last three encounters between the sides, including a 19-16 reverse at the Rec in October and the 10-6 loss in the Premiershp final at Twickenham last May.

But Bath have won on their last two visits to High Wycombe and Malone, who kicked a winning last-gasp conversion in the Powergen Cup quarter-final at Sale last Friday, said: "Every game we play against Wasps is massive and it is always tight. It usually comes down to one mistake which decides the winner.

"We go there building, we have been playing some pretty good rugby. We just want to go there and keep doing that and see what we come up with."

Wasps have already slipped out of Europe this season, while their Premiership crown is sure to come under pressure from Leicester.

But Malone added: "They predominantly put out the same pack every week and that invariably gets them good wins and some good ball.

"Their backs, the likes of Tom Voyce and Ayoola Erinle can cut you up and Alex King has been doing that sort of thing for years."

GLOUCESTER host Worcester in the Premiership tomorrow.
