Good looking team, especially the forwards. Looking at the weather, it's likely to be a "forwards match."

We're definitely taking this seriously! In previous years we'd usually send a weakened side to away games at top 4 clubs and focus on our home games.
 
I doubt it - something about Tigers just kills us in the last 20.
Remember in the LV when we were up by 20 or something and then you came back and won by 15 or something.
Terrible
 
Thank god there are teams even worse, so Bath probably won't get relegated... :rolleyes::wall::%#%#:
 
lol at the Bath fans leaving in the 74th minute. Only 4 points down. Union equivalent to the Wigan Walk. :lol:

tbf, that game transcended terrible for the neutral and became the ultimate borefest. At one point it even descended into the ~2008 aerial kicking duel.

Bath would have won if Eastmond stayed on.

Probably agree with you mostly there the game clearly turned when Eastmond went off. Give Banahan his due he acquitted himself well in trying circumstances if his bit of nouce at the end led to a win he'd been rightly held up as hero last night.

Only defence I can give to people leaving early is it was absolutely lashing it down and it appeared to be uncovered seats they were leaving.....still utterly insane when your only 4 points behind. As was the booing Ive no idea what's going on with the team mental capacity but we keep losing games we should be winning at the moment.
 
Not a stellar game from Cipriani so far.
Missed 3 of 4 penalties (including two pretty darn easy ones), and just given away a (admittedly really harsh) penalty for a "deliberate" knock on,
Spent almost the entire game in the Tigers game so far and it's 3 - 3
 
He's been great from the tee recently - can't help but feel the whole will he leave/won't he leave distraction is playing a part.
Needs to stop fannying around just make his mind up already.
