Skirving has been named in every Bath match-day squad this season<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Back-rower Ben Skirving believes with better decision making at vital moments Bath will be pushing for the play-offs and sending Steve Meehan out on a high.<\/b><\/p>\n

Head coach Meehan will leave the Rec at the end of the season after five years. <\/p>\n

Skirving told BBC Somerset: “We’ve got to tweak the decisions we make to get the most out of the possession we have. <\/p>\n

“If we get some good wins, starting at Saracens, we can be up in that top four and it puts us in a position to take that next step and get into a final.” <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bath have struggled to take that last step to silverware under Meehan, reaching the Premiership play-offs in each of the last three years but never the final. <\/p>\n

And heavy recent defeats by Gloucester and Leicester have dented their hopes of making the top four this season, and they are currently seventh in the table. <\/p>\n

Although they have games in hand on most of their rivals in the chase for the play-offs, if they lose at second-placed Saracens they could end the weekend 13 points off fourth spot.<\/p>\n

But Skirving insists Meehan’s decision to leave has not hindered their preparations and the focus is fully on the trip to his former club, where they won last season. <\/p>\n

He added: “We want to go down there and get the win. It will push us forward and a win is everything. <\/p>\n

“We took it Meehan’s decision on board. We’ve got to move on. Steve’s made his decision, we support him and the focus is Sunday.” <\/p>\n

Lock Stuart Hooper added: “It’s a disappointment that Steve’s leaving, he’s been fantastic for the club. <\/p>\n

“He won the club’s first silverware in the last 10 years and he’s got us to three semi-finals in a row and hopefully now we’ll push for the fourth. <\/p>\n

“Steve’s been at the club a long time and he certainly won’t want to go out on anything but a high so he’ll be putting in the same effort he always does in leading the boys, and we’ll be putting in the same effort for him.”\n<\/p>\n
