The Final, Bath v Saints - Saturday 3.00 - ITV

[FKAS]

The Saints pack haven't turned up today. It's almost like prior seasons where the scrum is iffy, they lack physicality and discipline is poor. Saints need some magic from the backs to rescue them.

[twitchy]

Top quality.

The boy hendy…

Making up for his error in style.

[Mellsblue]

Wow that's poor from Hendy. To tight defensively and then fluffs the catch. If Freeman is still on that wing I don't think Bath score that.

Do you remember what you said when Steward did something very, very similar for England?

lol hartley

Is Tarek Haffar injured or do Northampton prefer Manny?

[Banquo]

Kudos to Bath. Better team today imo.

Manny is ahead in the pecking order.

This is probably one of our weakest performances of the season. Against 14 for 60 mins this shouldn't be as stressful. Fair play Bath

[Banquo]

Dubious scrum pen imo

[Banquo]

Stupid lineout from saints before the scrum

[Banquo]

Time was up anyway

[Which Tyler]

A] f*** me
B] that last rip is after the tackle is complete, and this a penalty
C] in a way I've never seen given


D] mighty proud of the boys.
E] Well done Saints, enjoy your day, well be back next year.

Scrappy old game but brilliant

[Banquo]

Hendy motm.
Bit harsh on Underhill

[Adam_P]

Hendy good value towards the end of the game. Given the red card, that was far too stressful. Bath were very good value, especially Underhill. Saints way off the pace.

Very happy for Courtney.

[FKAS]

Entertaining game. Still think Underhill should have got man of the match, easily the best player on the pitch.

Shiny Balls has some new headaches with Obano likely suspended and Smith potentially injured for the summer tour.

[Oakboy]

Exciting watch, that, if not a classic, style-wise.

There were some splendid performances: Underhill, Furbank, Freeman and Langdon etc.

Northampton were worthy winners in the end but Bath, down a man, ran them close.

Yep. Dingers was quality.

Worth it for Hendy’s interview!

[Banquo]

4 graduates from Cambridge mini and youth in the game. Take that Bill

[Banquo]

Stats tell an interesting story v my perception of the game.

[Banquo]

lol @lawes…‘I’m livid, we couldn’t have played worse’

[Adam_P]

Wasn't the final I envisaged - expected more tries from both sides. Pressure of the final and the red card obviously having a big effect. Happy we got there in the end, but Bath were the better team on the day and probably would have won that with 15 men.

Right result in terms of the season as a whole though imo

Agreed, bar his try though, Mitchell had a stinker, and Saints need to learn to handle the nerves.
