A lot of Warr's passes are arriving at head height.

Ah - all 10 teams then.


Feels like Bath should be up by more than 4.
But it's our fault that we're not. Too many little individual errors.

Bath need to tighten up, Sale need to start taking advantage if we don't.

Both teams have plenty of room for improvement with a good HT chat.

Rodd's having a stormer oitside of the scrum (no idea about inside)

Horrible interception pass from Spencer. Nice finish from Roebuck rounding Russell on the way to the line.

Can't argue with PotM today
I'm pity about the last touch, must have taken his eye off the ball, deciding how to celebrate

Sale faded badly. Forwards looked ragged by the end of the game. Bath kept the tempo high and Sale couldn't live with it.

Yes, Russell MoM for me. Coka was good, though. If he constantly punched his weight he would be more convincing. As the commentator said, he needs someone to get him angry. He's a good club winger.

That was fun. A bit error strewn at times but no denying that some of the play was first class with some very good tries. Coka was very good. Like the way he comes infield looking for work and he's not averse to passing.

From an England POV very pleased to see Rodd and Quirke looking in decent nick.

Coka is big, powerful and fast and I think he's improving. His basic skills, passing, game reading etc. need a bit of work. In the first moments of the game he made a nice midfield break then threw a poor pass, under no real pressure, to Lawrence who really should have been put over in the corner.
