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

Also good to see Lawrence starting for Worcester.

Great line from Beno.
Try Zach

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

Beautiful by Zach

Good break for him just there

Yep nice play from him.

Louw can kick? :O

Apparently so, and very well too

Beno stretches for the line, loses control.

Defensive 5m scrum

Wuss 13 - 10 Bath
HT

Score seems a fair reflection of the play

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

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

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

Wuss 13 - 22 Bath
60 min

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

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

Clock red

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?

And play Curry out of position?

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.
