Nelly, completely agree. Didn't notice at first, we clearly looked a bit knackered. Under the circumstances I'll take that score and points.

[Steve from Cov]

Curate’s egg.

Some players looked lethargic but possibly because of the heat and possibly understandable when we had the BP wrapped up so early.

Jacob was trying too hard.

59 points scored and 5 match points. As said by others, we did look a bit knackered.Now to get some R&R, batteries recharged and get the mindsets straight for the trip to Quins. No more problematic injuris sudtaned today - PLEASE!!

And if anyone had said that we would accumulate 43 match points in the recent set of 10 matches, after having only 18 in the first set, I wonder what odds you could hsave got at the time!

Bath need to beat Sale for us to get a home SF.

They have just conceded a second try but are still 17/12 ahead.

15-23 now with 2 tries a piece. Ideal outcome for Wasps with 0 bonus points, but still 15 mins to play.

Sale 15 - 23 Bath. 16 mins to go.

Ideal result for us if it stays that way. An 8+ point victory by Bath with no bonus points for either team is about as good as we could hope for.

Don’t we want Sale to win to put us far ahead of Bath?

I would think so detach them from top 4. However isn't going to happen.

[Raggs]

Yeah, best result would have been a sale win and no BPs for Bath. Now it's potentially all on the line in both the last games, and we've got exeter.

[DGP Wasp]

15-30 now. Sale win looking unlikely, but both teams could still get a bonus point from here.

Will Spencer sporting a fantastic nose bandage!

Personally I'd prefer a Bath win to leave us in the box seat for a home semi with 2 to play.

Not only Chiefs but the bogey Quins

Out of interest, where does that sit on the list of fastest try bonus points in the Premiership?

Second fastest ever in the Premiership. Quins are top with a bonus point after 14 minutes against the EAs in 2004.

On the whole I'm pleased with our performance. It would have been nice not to give them a try bonus point, but when you take into account the fact that this was our fourth game in 13 days and we were against a Bristol squad that hadn't played much in that time, plus Malins at 10, I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

It's been a phenomenal run by the squad and they fully deserve a bit of a break now. Bath 30-22 up against Sale with 8 to go. Hopefully we could be second this evening.

Thanks!!

Bath with a bonus.

Bath have the bonus point
