Very interested to see how Gray looks, if he gets on.

Wary of this game - Bath are on a run of bad form but they'll come good eventually, and we've changed up our side considerably this week

Notice of Disciplinary - Joseph and Stooke

www.bathrugby.com

Stooke and Joseph found guilty of breaching Covid protocols - internal discipline leads to 1 match ban and a fine, with further sanction for Stools being extra stupid.


No sympathies whatsoever, and well done the club for not only disciplining, but publishing the fact.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Covid at Falcons, so Saints vs Falcons is cancelled

 

[EdBirch]

Strong squad, hope we can get our first win over Wasps since 2013.

Good to see Van Velze back from injury

Also interested to see how Fin Smith goes on debut from the bench

Guess a 4 - 2 as previous.
Fancied us to win in a tight game so maybe not a far off split.

Just compounding idiocy on idiocy

 

[Which Tyler]

Oh jebus!

I wouldn't object if RFU banned him for the season, and Bath terminate his contract

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Happened with Nadolo didn't it?
got his contract terminated due to drink driving whilst at Exeter

Is Akker injured?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Is Akker injured?

Yeah, I think he pulled a calf (it was that or Achilles) in the warmup of...whichever game it was that he was last named in a side for

 

[Scotty]

Carreras second intercept try in 26 minutes, but that was amazing 1 handed intercept amd control withing needing a second hand, that is pure class

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Mercer's defence has been awful this game, he is getting bounced by everyone.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Spencer still the best 9 in the country
Muir (sp?) looks a good prospect

We've got a lot of dead weight in this side - hope Sanderson can cut some of these guys

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What a way to end the half

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Miur having a good game.

De Klerk will be doing adverts for L'Oréal soon.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah, didn't realise he was mid-20s and from the 7s system,
Looks really good out there: McConnochie mk.2

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Baths first up tacklers are falling off almost every tackle, it's pretty poor. Every tackle needs to be a double team.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

God our attack is shocking,
Got away with it the last few weeks because we strangled the opposition with our defence, but tonight it's really obvious how we've no idea

You say your attack is shocking, I say our defence is shocking. When the stoppable force meets the moveable object.
