[Getofmeland]

Always a tough game for Bath to travel to Wasps...

I predict a narrow Bath win... so that will be Wasps by 10 points...

 

[m0rris]

Yes, especially when there is no Haughton to miss every conceivable tackle. Im hoping for a bath win, but expecting a very very tight game.

Was at the game and had a great time. Relieved at the win. It was mostly our defence we have to thank for that; agressive, always getting ourselves on the front foot with tackles. The front row particularly, and Poff making a nuisance of himself as usual. An odd thing about the game was there was virtually no turnover ball and few penalties won by either backrow at the breakdown. Good to see Webber back on form and showing why he is a future England prospect. For me, the one to replace Thompson fo sho, and sooner rather than later. having also watched England thias tournament and seeing Poff (great player, to be fair) start at 7, I'm always reminded of Rees and what a loss he is proving for both England and Wasps. A brilliant player who will no doubt be retiring sooner rather than later through injury. Looking forward to having Waldouck or Flutey back because Bell and Mayor not the best combination to have graced adams park.

Just went over the highlights, and have to say Bath were completely hard-done by with the non-try. As clear cut as I've ever seen a try. We really must have a TMO covering all premiership games because the game might have turned out completely differently were it not for this.

Agreed, it was obviously a try apparently they showed it on the big screen at the game... surely the ref could have organised some kind of improptue TMOing.

Anyway, the game was lost by Abendanon having a mare and the forwards failing to play properly from what I heard on the radio. And more importantly whilst the disallowed try would have made the difference Ben Williams was crocked in the process. Forcing our Barkley/Carraro hand.
