[QUOTE="Boy, post: 67120"] Mears and Borthwick are injured. I think Grewcock is pushing his game limit for the season, especially if he goes on tour with England. Don't know why Beattie and Lipman didn't play, but they probably could just do with a rest after last week. It gave the squad players a chance to have a run out. It was good to see people like Abendanon, Faamatuianu, Hawkins, Goodman, etc. get a run out. Out of the five forwards out, we only really missed Mears, as Dixon missed his jumper at some crucial times. For anyone who just saw the result, it doesn't give a fair reflection of the game. It was 19-12 after about 75 minutes, which probably would have been a fair result, then Sale scored three breakaway tries to make it 38-12. Bath didn't play great. We had nothing to play for (there was no way we were getting into Europe), so in some ways it turned out to be an elaborate training session. We turned down three or four shots at goal from the first whistle and just tried to score tries, which in the end played into Sale's hands. On the highlights look out for Malone nutmegging Hodgson with a grubber kick to score in the first half, and then Hodgson selling Flatman an outrageous dummy to go in under the sticks. At one point Hodgon also got the crap knocked out of him in a tackle by Hudson. Overall, the game was almost worth being surrounded by Mancs (kids who kept shouting 'Bath Scum' in the true spirit of the game), possibly getting punked out by a guy in a foam shark suit and not getting back to Liverpool until half midnight (by which time by bladder was seriously struggling to keep hold of the second half cider). Just don't know why we were so keen on trying cross-field kicks, executed poorly and normally to Abendanon's wing (who's five foot nothing). [/QUOTE]
