I must have been at a different match

Back to the point of the thread, SJ must have put his report together in the pub taking his input from a Bath fan

IMO Tigers were the only team that came to play and we probably tried to run the ball too often in difficult conditions. I expected better from Bath (I dont know why!) but it looked to me like they'd had a masterclass from Venter in the week. Barclay must have needed ice for his left foot at the end of the game the amount of time he kicked possession away

On the contrary, I thought Bath looked very handy for long periods of play and the result was by no means secure - indeed, Bath could easily have won that match in the dying minutes. Leicester tried to force the game too much and when the ball is like a bar of soap, thats not particulalry clever. Tigers could of and should have converted their time in the red zone into tries but couldn't manage it.

All in all, I was very pleased of the win, but Tigers were by no stretch of the imagination the dominant team (refereeing decisions aside).

I agree Roly. I was (pleasantly) surprised, though alarmed, that we didn't play more 10 man rugby in the last 20.

The ball should have been shoved up the jumper Deano style as soons as the heavens opened. Also, if some of the points producing decisions been correctly called, therefore NON points scoring, Bath wouldn't have been so close. I opined to the agreement of others around me at the ground that Bath were disappointing.
