Bath have not asked their Scottish players for any insight on their national team-mates says Johann van Graan, ahead of their Challenge Cup semi-final with Edinburgh on Saturday.

The Premiership league leaders head to Scotland’s capital on Saturday with a place in the European final in Cardiff on 23 May at stake.

Bath have Scotland regulars fly-half Finn Russell, centre Cameron Redpath and back row Josh Bayliss among their squad.

“We just keep to what we believe in and the way that we want to play. We haven’t asked any specific questions around the Edinburgh team,” Van Graan told BBC Radio Bristol.

“I know Gregor [Townsend, Scotland head coach] very well, I know Franco [Smith, Glasgow head coach] very well, and I know Sean [Everitt, Edinburgh head coach] very well – a good rugby friend of mine.

“But we’ve just stuck to what we believe in and let Finn, Josh and Cam focus on the way that we want to play.

“Huge respect for Edinburgh and Scottish rugby but the focus has been on us this week.”
