PETER Stringer will pose all sorts of threats to Bath tomorrow (Saturday, October 21), but he admits he used to find their achievements daunting.
The young scrum-half may be one of the rising stars of Irish rugby, but he has a healthy respect for his opponents.
He said: "It doesn't get much tougher than playing Bath home and away within eight days. As a kid I grew up in awe of Bath, watching them win title after title in England. I am really looking forward to playing at The Rec and meeting up with Gareth Cooper again.
"We played against each other at Under-21 level when Wales won the title. I was very impressed with him."
