An open and incident packed game. Molitika scored the first try after some nice interplay between the Robinson brothers. This was Tom James' first game back after a few months out with injury. He showed up well and looked hungry for action throughout the game. Bath were dangerous in attack during the whole game and it was only the Blues solid defence that kept them at bay. The turning point of the game came when the Blues already down to 14 men thanks to Shanklin being sin binned gave away a penalty try. The Bath wing was running in for a try and stepped inside the covering defender, Jason Spice, who flung out an arm and caught him high. It should have been a yellow card but the referee thought it was accidental. Spice survived and then even more dramatically Richard Mustoe charged down the conversion in front of the posts. I can't recall the last time I saw a charged down coversion. A real rarity.
In the last ten the homeside showed good compsure to close out the win. In their EDF group they beat Sale, Leicester and Bath. Not bad going.
My man of the match: Molitika
