[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1057015, member: 56232"] I would have been more inclined to put it down to bad 50:50 calls if it wasn't for the fact Bath have had a history the last few seasons of being near or at the top of penalties conceded and yellow cards received each year. It's a theme. Generally sides that are perceived to be good as gold get penalised less whilst sides that have a reputation for being poorly disciplined get punished more. It's part of the reason England are on the wrong side of 50:50 calls many times and I feel it's the same with Bath. It's kinda the issue, when we need to be squeaky clean our tendency is to go the opposite way and infringe more. Many things improved but Bath have had these flash in a pan performances before but then revert to type by the next game. Discipline is the opposite, our discipline is nearly always atrocious. If we can have a string of games with good discipline and good rugby then I'll be more positive about it but as it is, we played some attractive but poorly finished rugby against a side that has been struggling as much as us whilst shipping a fuckton of penalties again.
