[fivepointer]

Much needed win for Falcons. Williams with the decisive try.

[Which Tyler]

Game was pretty much over as a contest when Burns and Homer both went off around 10 minutes, leaving Bath with no FH, no FB and no kicker.
Despite that, and a co pletely dysfunctional Bath lineout, it was only a on 8 point win for Falcons, they really should feel ashamed of that

McConnochie looks a real handful developing slowly but surely.
