Saints came home from Sixways with the points last Saturday afternoon, but Haywood - who has played in 22 of the Saints' 25 matches played so far this season - says that while there was satisfaction with the win over Worcester a step up in performance is needed tomorrow.
"We're looking forward to this weekend and taking on Bath," the hooker said this week. "We were looking for a performance at Worcester last week and we knew that it was a must-win game for us. It was a tough place to play and we were happy with how we played.
"But we know that Bath is going to be a really big challenge for us. We want to get a win on our home pitch and keep the momentum going, and hopefully we can take the good things from last week into tomorrow's game."
Tickets remain available for tomorrow's game (which is not being televised live), with prices starting at £28 for adults and £18 for juniors and concessions. Order now by calling 01604 581000 or by CLICKING HERE and following the straightforward instructions.
