IAIN Balshaw may have played his last game for Bath after being ruled out until at least the end of the regular Premiership season.

England ace Balshaw, who will join Leeds Tykes at the end of the season, has been suffering a groin injury since the Six Nations Championship and is definitely out until after the Gloucester game next weekend (May 8).

Should Bath finish top of the league, Balshaw might only have the Zurich Premiership Final in which to make his swansong.

England colleague Mike Tindall may be back to face Gloucester, although his abdominal strain will not heal in time for Sunday's trip to Harlequins.
