Joe’s warming up again
BATH V GLOUCESTER 5.30PM
ENGLAND wing Joe Cokanasiga makes his longawaited return tonight at The Rec – 361 days since his last appearance.
Cokanasiga, right, has finally recovered from the knee injury he picked up during the World Cup in Japan and will take his place in the Bath squad against Gloucester.
Bath team- mate Jonathan Joseph thinks Cokanasiga will revel in his first taste of summer rugby before 1,000 fans.
He said: “It is brilliant. It is much better to watch and it is way better to play in good conditions. I feel like I’m 21 again.”
