Really wish it wasn't raining - considering Bath's forward dominance I'd love to see them run the ball more, but it's just constant kicking, and the amount of scrums is a bore.

Did Eastmond ever play alongside Burgess in league?

Burgess didn't get MOTM?
It's a fix.

Exactly this. Wasnt watching the game with 100% concentration but it did seem they were hesitant in spreading wide for whatever reason

What is it with the coats and caps with the BT crew?
Healy looked ridiculous....

Yeah, all of Eastmond's caps were with Sam.

Not sure how Bath didn't win by more but very good to see big Sam 
Thought that Bath could have been a lot more clinical in that game. Should have put Quins to the sword with that kind of territory, possession and Quins losing 4 men to the bin (3 at the same time!). They kinda did this, and were very impressive, but could have probably stacked a lot more points on Quins.

Not sure how I didn't know that...
In reality Burgesses debut was OK... 3 involvements in horrid weather, shame it wasn't nicer and the scrum farce kind of ruined it as a game.
Wins down to 8, they really are missing a decent 2nd row.
Weather had a massive impact on the end of the game, and the pitch.

I think with a more experienced 10 we could have put a lot more points on the board.
Devoto is good but it was his first start at fh at senior level.

I really don't see it with Devoto. I liked him at 12/13.
Steady......

He's shown some real promise as a 10 from the little I've seen of him there.

Fair enough. He doesn't move like one at all. He looks carries and runs like a 13.
Lol @Ford blanking Healy.
Meh, I think there must be better excuses when you make such hard work of scoring a try against 12 men. I thought they made several mistakes near the line, getting turned over and having to reset a bit further out, a little too regularly. Tried to set piece their way through the Quins defence. Didn't need dazzling ball skills, just a few more hard carries through the forwards.
Without scrum dominance I suspect that would have been a fairly tight game. And I don't think it should have been.

They were ripping Quins in the first half so not sure about that at all.
Seems weird to say after such a comfortable win, but we really did look mediocre for much of that game. I know the weather played a part but no amount of rain is worth three players. After 20 minutes it looked like a real rout and Devoto looked like a real* fly half. Then we let it slide, that's the difference between a good team with lots of good players and a championship winning side for me - Northampton or Sarries would've put 40 past Quins today with that dominance.
BTW, who's that reserve centre for Bath? Looked handy.
