Hill at lock seems like a waste.

[fivepointer]

Fasogbon starts again. Good to see him getting game time but he just 20 and needs careful management.

Emens has had an interesting route to Prem rugby.

Austin Emens joined Bath Rugby after an impressive show for the University of Bath and GB7s.

The full back made his Sevens debut in December 2023 at Dubai SVNS, going on to play in Hong Kong at HSBC SVNS and securing a silver medal at Los Angeles SVNS.

Showing testament to the partnership between Bath Rugby and the University of Bath, Emens has earned his first professional contract after excelling on the BUCS Super Rugby scene.

Good start to this game.

[Which Tyler]

So both teams on a warning already.

As opposed to Eykin, I think that if your putting the whole team on a "no more silly business" warning, it's fair for the skipper to tell the whole team.

[FKAS]

It's a ferocious end to end game. Good watch for a neutral.

[Which Tyler]

Shut up now Ben. Ref.s explained, say "yes sir" and move on

[Which Tyler]

This is frenetic!

[twitchy]

Fun game.

[Banquo]

lovin glaws backs from 1st phase

[Which Tyler]

Bath busy complaing about the extra roll from Clements, forgetting to actually defend the line.

Both Glos tries have been absolute beauties!

[twitchy]

Yep glos are fantastic when they get going.

[Banquo]

great try

[Which Tyler]

Both Glos tries have been absolute beauties!

Make that "all 3"

[Banquo]

lol@hooker grubber kicking

[twitchy]

Very glad that the camera was borked in the exe game and I switched over to this now.

[Which Tyler]

Make that "all 3"

Bath's aren't bad, either

[Which Tyler]

And on the phase after I said "you're not on feet, backs' turn"

[twitchy]

lol

[Which Tyler]

I know they've looked at, and cleared it, but how is Dunn not in the way there?

[Which Tyler]

Now that one has to be PT&yellow.


Harsh, but that's the law

[Which Tyler]

That's another he should really have held.
Not a winger

[Which Tyler]

Noice

[Which Tyler]

Ref the only one on the pitch actually keeping up with TdG

[FKAS]

That's a shocker from Mercer. Didn't need to hit the gamble button there. He's been so good today but that's put an end to any Glaws hopes of winning the game.
