In May 1996, Bath Rugby and Wigan made history by playing against each other at both codes. The first match was at Maine Road, Manchester under League rules and saw Bath struggle, eventually losing 82–6. In the return fixture under Union rules at Twickenham, Bath were able to regain a measure of pride by beating Wigan 44–19.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJack Rowell's departure (to take control of the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEngland team) in 1995 and rugby union becoming a professional sport in 1996 has seen Bath struggle to find consistency either on or off the field.
