Unconfirmed, but... We know that Lee has a sone called Isaac, who's the right age, so... yes, but with a reservation.
Same goes for Max Hooper and StuartH (though Max looks the spitting image of Stuart)
We've also got a prop called Charlie Dawe...

Is Dylan Line Dylan Hartley’s son…
No idea. Someone on the Tigers Offy seems to think Henry Johnson is Martin's son (he does have a son called Henry so could well be) and Joe Vesty is the nephew of Saints head coach Sam.

It is. There is also a different Henry Johnson in Tigers U16s, who is from Lichfield and not Martin’s son. So next season you could have Henry Johnson and Henry Johnson playing for Tigers U18s.

Excellent, let's hope they both make it just for the carnage on commentary.
Is Henry son of Martin a proper chip off the old mountain?

Bolded are changes from last week
I initially thought you were highlighting alliterative names for the joy of it.
49-14 FT.
In my very amateur view, Bath forward domination has delivered a good platform for a variety of tries. Good possession, accurate and organised. Bris have looked spirited in the backs and gone close a few times but inaccurate in comparison.
Place kicking all good from both teams. Bris subs made a difference up front in the set piece but not enough to change the game.

Tigers are filling their fallow week with a development game Vs Oxford Uni tonight. It's a mix of the under 18s and senior academy squads. Josh Manz makes his return from injury after a year out.
First 90 seconds are all Bath, collect their own kick-off, stretch quins side to side, but one offload too many when playing with a penalty advantage.
Then a nasty looking injury to (I think) George Chandler (Quins 3) - stretcher on, and delay is 20 minutes and counting - hope he's okay, looks like he hurt himself in the tackle.
