Lee saying team is tired.
But acknowledged Bath were probably even more so

Yes, I think he is right. Makes you wonder who will be selected for next week. Will they do training light during the week?

Got to feel for Stuart Hooper. He's been a great servant to Bath Rugby but he must be wondering what he has to do to get a win with that team.

Wow....purely from entertainment POV that was fun....even more so given I have a Bath Rugby supporter neighbour (yes!) but sometimes it's best not to think too hard about one game, take the points and meet back up on Monday for a bit of a chat. As no one really - from either side - wanted to play like gumbies on restarts or at other obvious points in defence.......

Big bonus points - Brad got lots of minutes in, Paulo is starting to believe and again, we showed we are a squad.

Agreed you look at the players and kind of think wow they should do well. Some of parts not meeting expectations. Their future is in the youngsters like Redpath.

Defence coaches nightmare at times. Honestly it was just one of those really loose games. Last big one I remember was Champions cup against, funnily enough, Bath at the Ricoh. Not able to look into this one too much.

Got to add, Bath really are the biggest underachievers for the past 4-5 years. The quality of their squad they should've won more frequently. It's the reason I fear playing them because you never know if they'll meet their potential.

Feel like I've been 10 rounds with Mike Tyson. Not sure if what I've just watched was absolutely brilliant or diabolical. What I do know is I'd have snapped your hand off for 14 points from the last three games. I never thought we were out of that, even at 13-0. Some great performances, Cruse, Odogwu, Shields, Young, Robson. Line out was great and scrum solid. It's becoming clear we have a phenomenal squad and set of coaches. I think in terms of this game, don't try and analyse chaos, take the 5, move on.

There aren't many higher quality XVs, on paper at least, that we'll come up against this year than that Bath team.

What an enjoyable watch. Only complaint with a Friday game is we have to wait longer till the next one!

Lima got all conversions plus a penalty. One stupid kick but not a bad day.

Yes, I think he is right. Makes you wonder who will be selected for next week. Will they do training light during the week?

Chances are that next week’s game won’t happen.

I was working late so didn't even get to follow the game. Struggling to understand quite what happened!
