Bath head coach Mike Ford has confirmed that his squad is fully fit for Saturday's Aviva Premiership final against Saracens.

A comprehensive 47-10 victory over Leicester Tigers last weekend saw Bath make it through to the showpiece event for the first time since 2004.

Ford admits that a favourable fixture schedule has helped the team's physical condition during the finale of the campaign.

"Everyone is fit," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News. "The way the season unfolded, with us not playing every week because we got knocked out of the Champions Cup [in the quarter-finals], we had a couple of weeks off in between games.

"We have been a bit lucky. You have always got to be lucky in terms of injuries, but we were unlucky last October when we had no back-row. We are all fit, and it is a great position to be in."

Bath beat Saracens 21-11 at the start of the season before Sarries gained revenge with a 34-24 victory in February.
