Looks like Bath have blown it!

Only if the Sale game goes ahead and they can raise a strong team. They will need at least three points.

Pains me to write this but Wasps is a team that has shown how to turn things around: after they lost to us at Welford Road the Wasps decided to throw off the fear of losing by playing a great brand of attacking rugby. Yes, they beat an Exeter second/ third team today but I do believe they have a chance of beating Exeter again if they overcome their semi final opponents.

Bath have turned it around very quickly too,even their own fans were dreading Hoopers appointment

Doubtless Wasps and Bath have turned their respective seasons around.Their problem , like many have found before them ,will be continue to build on what is thus far a change of voice or face at the helm.Still, in comparative terms, a good position to be in and a nice problem to have.

Sale’s squad are understood to have had drinks at the club’s Carrington training ground after beating Harlequins 27-19 on September 21. The club confirmed that the players had “a couple of beers” but strongly deny that this was the source of the outbreak.

Tbh the fact the club confirmed that players had a couple of beers after the win at the club training ground at at time where you're only allowed in the pub in groups of 6 (and shouldn't mix with any other groups) unless they claim a few beers count as part of their elite sport exemption, all that's being argued is the extent to which they broke the rules.

Realistically, little of surprise therein.The 'necessary' and not unexpected groundwork.
Await Tuesday's second set of results with interest.

I've never been to their Carrington training ground, but it doesn't sound like a pub...

I'm not sure why Covid would be more likely to spread between players while having a drink as opposed to in a scrum. I would in fact think it would be completely the opposite.
