[Peej]

Good to see Mercer back, though that is a useful back row for Worcester

[Scrumhead]

Also good to see Lawrence starting for Worcester.

[Which Tyler]

Great line from Beno.
Try Zach

[Which Tyler]

Good line from Du Preez this time, #8 on the charge beats a small FB 1m from the line.
10-10, 15 min

I'm entertained

[Which Tyler]

Beautiful by Zach

[Which Tyler]

Also good to see Lawrence starting for Worcester.

Good break for him just there

[twitchy]

Yep nice play from him.

[Which Tyler]

Louw can kick? :O

Apparently so, and very well too

[Which Tyler]

Beno stretches for the line, loses control.

Defensive 5m scrum

[Which Tyler]

Wuss 13 - 10 Bath
HT

Score seems a fair reflection of the play

[Which Tyler]

Wuss yellow card for playing the SH without retreating 10 for the penalty

Multiphase pick and go leads to Baths 2nd try - I do have those illegal pre-binds though

[Which Tyler]

Piecenof magic by Cook (?) To keep the ball alive in a promising attack, but can't quite get the ball out side to Ruaridh, undefended to the left

[Which Tyler]

Good but not honesty from Zach
"Was that held up?"
"Yes sir"

[Which Tyler]

Wuss 13 - 22 Bath
60 min

[Which Tyler]

That changing of the front row guard didn't help then

[Which Tyler]

Great try by David for Wuss.
Bath defence stutters and Weir juggles the ball, and creates a nice dogleg.
Against the run of play for the second half

Wuss 21 - 22 Bath
69 min

[Which Tyler]

W 21 - 22 B
2 to go

[Which Tyler]

Pennell going for goal from inside his own half
Clock red

[Which Tyler]

It's wide!

Mercer adjudged MotM in TRP. Good effort that after a long lay off. And he went the full 80. Too early to be getting a call from the England coach?

[Mikey Brown]

And play Curry out of position?

[Warrior85]

Mercer was very good, it's the first time I've seen him play live. He seems a very intelligent rugby player, so probably not the type of player Eddie wants.

Ted Hill and Ollie Lawerence were also very good yesterday. Ted carried and hit very hard and whenever Ollie has ball in hand it seems like something is going to happen. He has a great step and loves to offload.

Mercer would have to be, pound for pound, one of the most influential forwards in the Prem. I can’t remember the last time I saw, or heard about him having, a bad game.

Hill and Lawrence were very good. Really stood out. I’d be looking at both of them internationally.
