In injury news:

Ted Hill picked up an "upper leg" injury that's likely to keep him out for a couple of months

[FKAS]

Fairly large contrast on the flanks. Two opensides Vs two lock/6 hybrids.

A lot of internationals back for Sarries, you'd expect them to come back out firing after last week.

Also Metallica's lead singer and rhythm guitarist hooking for Sarries.

Sarries aura imo slipping tho and that Bath team has to be a threat when fully gelled.

Nearly. James Hetfield being the Metallica man. James Hadfield sounds like something from a cheesy cover band.

I'm sorry but you're Unforgiven.

C'mon Banquo I'm a Moth to the Flame with this, I didn't just have One of these. I had enough Fuel to do this for most the weekend.

[p/d]

FKAS, I had you down as more of an Olly Murs fan.

Sad but true.

The sandman entered after the first one

Not sure I can name an Olly Murs song to be honest. Need some guitar front a centre to go with the Whiskey in the Jar. Being raised 15 mins away from Donnington Park helped the musical education.

4 minutes in, and a try apiece for Finn Russell.

Telegraphs the chip in midfield to creat a chrlsrge down and try for Saracens' 7.
Then an excellent half-break and chicken-wing offload to create a try for Bath 15.

Now that's what we signed him for!

There's the TBP for Bath.

Match still in the balance, but doesn't feel like it should be (NB, possible bias)

[Spiffy]

Top Argie flanker Gonzales is heading for Sarries.
That means they could field a back row of McFarland/T.Willis/Gonzales. Quite tasty.

[fivepointer]

Excellent win for Bath. Try BP. Sarries get nowt.

Saracens not at full strength but that was a decent side they put out.

[Mikey Brown]

Why are Bath wearing an old Clermont kit?

[Which Tyler]

Bath have a pretty glorious history with yellow/gold, but they've missed on the colour palette this year.
