Dragons v Bath</div>

Bath will be hoping to get the job done tomorrow and set up that pool decider with Toulouse next weekend.

The Dragons have proved themselves to be no pushovers in this pool, pushing Bath close in the first game and even Toulouse couldn't get the bp win at Rodney Parade, so Bath will certainly have their work cut out for them.

Bath should have too much for the Dragons and if they're to have any aspirations of progressing in this tournament then these are the must win games.

Dragons: J Tovey; G Wyatt, R Gomer-Davies, A Smith, R Fussell; J Arlidge, W Evans; A Black, S Jones, R Thomas; A Jones. L Charteris, Hoani MacDonald, Colin Charvis, G Webb.

Replacements: T Willis, G Robinson, L Evans, J Ringer, R Lewis, G Maule, P Dollman.

Bath: N Abendanon; J Maddock, A Crockett, E Fuimaono-Sapolu, M Banahan; B James, M Claassens; D Flatman, L Mears, M Stevens; J Harrison, S Hooper; A Beattie, M Lipman [capt], D Browne.

Replacements: P Dixon, D Bell, J Faamatuainu, J Scaysbrook, S Bemand, S Hape, J Cuthbert.

 

[An Tarbh]

decent start for Bath with the early try for Maddock.

 

[An Tarbh]

good to see Clancy not cowering away from not giving the yellow card with Bath already down to 14, take note Mr Barnes.

The right decision on that Yellow... Dragons still have a chance here...

 

[An Tarbh]

poor decision not to take the points and costing them with the turnover.

 

[An Tarbh]

well ultimately not costing them too much as they score off the resulting lineout, fortunate bounce though.

 

[An Tarbh]

hospital pass from Abendanon doing Bath no favours there.

 

[An Tarbh]

let off for Bath but would have been a great last ditch tackle either way.

 

[An Tarbh]

they've done well to only concede 7 with 13 players for 8 mins, still though if you're gonna kick for touch you've got to nail the lineout.

 

[getofmeland]

Bath need to get some momentum, as the Momentum seems to be with the Dragons at the moment.

 

[getofmeland]

Poor Poor Rugby by Bath costing them the try!!!

 

[Vambo]

I like watching the Dragons. They always seem to play for each other rather than as individuals.

 

[An Tarbh]

we already had a game on our hands prior to that try but huge credit to Evans, it was a knockon but Clancy was blindsided.

 

[Vambo]

Good break from Crockett leading to a fine try.

 

[An Tarbh]

great break from Crockett, thought he'd overran it but good support ultimately from Browne and good finish from Hooper.

 

[An Tarbh]

ah Clancy you're a better ref than that, should have been advantage over after the drop.
