Ealing 36 (BP) - Scottish 5 (1T) - FT Maybe 700 in the crowd for a horrible horrible weather match

Bath scored all their points in the last 10.

Hard one to take that for you boys, sounded like your defense was immense for 70 minutes.

I was one of the 5202 at the BPA today, and can barely remember us close again. There in the last few years. Northampton got the lead with a  break-away try from there 15. Beating the Coventry line by speed on the Northampton 22 and racing the length of the pitch. For most of the first half and a good part of the second Coventry had the majority of the possession but couldn't take advantage of it. Northampton's pack could push in a scrum or a mall but didn't seem to have much of an impact in open play. Their backs though were very impressive. Had Coventry had a bit more luck with the kicking in the wet and windy conditions. There would have been a bonus point and a fair chance of equalling the game as well. 
Premiership refereeing on the example of today, would seem to require offloading before hitting the ground in the tackle. Penalties were given very very quickly for retaining the ball. 
Overall though a cracking game, especially considering the conditions and one that was worth sitting being rained on.

Great game ar GR, the Bedford defence was superb today, closer than the score line suggests, weather wasn’t too bad, bit of rain, but the direction of the wind meant the pitch was sheltered by the flats near by. Bedford deserved more, but that’s rugby, I’m tempted to say the difference was Alfie Barbery, who ran all day for Bath, overall happy with how we played, never gave up. 😁
I want you all to line up in a circle and pair up in three's alphabetically by height.

Yes. Looks pretty much full strength except England or England As.

Maybe Nottingham got too close for comfort?

5 tries to 10 Leaky Leicester??
No a very good Nottingham performance

According to the club's owner, the ground capacity is 5200, so I guess so!

Would agree with you over the comment re ground capacity Steve.
Quite a day, great credit to the Cov forwards after losing Nairau at prop after just 2 minutes & then Kkwocha before half time, which really cut down the options regarding fresh legs etc.
Quite a day though & both Cov & Saints fans present displayed once again what real supporting is all about.
