How good was Wells, great take for his try then had two sensational turnovers in the air for the lineout.
I don’t think Barnes was bad, the neutral in me was glad he penalised us for sealing off when no other ref would have done, and apart from failing to ping Watson for playing the ball in the ruck can’t grumble much.

More than happy with a win. On paper you'd have said Bath all day - thankfully, games aren't played on paper.
Steward outshone his international capped opponent, Wiese was immense. Underhill was largely anonymous, which is testament to the work of our back row.
So much better but so much to improve on. We're just a win from the top four.
Well, that was a turn around.
Rustiness explained going 14 down but we played some good rugby to come back. Wiese, Ford and Steward immense. The latter a bolter for the Lions?
Great to see Dallaglio having to eat humble pie on BT Sport. Vociferous in his criticism of our kicking game tactic at half time. Much as I dislike it when it’s done badly (kicking) I thought he was a touch too aggressive in his opinion, albeit true to form when commenting onTigers. He was almost choking when he said it appeared to be the right tactics in the end and was executed well.
Cracking game. Great to the boys not panic and come away with the win.
Rustiness due to covid at the start but they dug in there and played some decent rugby. Even when it was close at the the end with so many young lads on they stuck in there and did what they needed to.
TBP would have been great, but I'm well pleased with the manor of the win.
A good win; they're beginning to play as a team. But, one thing they must improve on is not allowing their opponents to gather the restart in Tigers' half. It happens too often, and puts them straight back under pressure.
Just to add, I thought that JvP did really well when he came on. His delivery and speed of delivery were both excellent and his speed to the base was really good too.

Yes, I expect a certain young Mr White may be a tad worried.
