Another very good line and carry by Porter leading up to the try!

It does highlight the difference with only having 3/4 more starters in a team.

Whilst it is a vastly different situation, I haven't forgotten Kingsholm on the first night of the 2016/17 season.

No problem picking youngsters/new players but with some experience around them please.

IMO both the Bath and this game would be very different if a better approach to the rotation was taken.

It's looking good as long as we get rid of a few of the chronically slow and useless backs triumphed by Murphy. The newcomers all deserve better.

Agreed. But I’d much rather see how new players measure up in adversity rather than perhaps looking good in a more seasoned team.

Trying to keep my blood pressure at a sensible level. I am very passionate about my club and often let my blood boil over too often due to terrible displays. See they're getting back into the game.

Positives are the energy levels and not giving away a huge number of penalties.
