So, close at the end. A bonus point which is important, when I expected a bigger gap. One try to the Saints, which was what I expected, but only two for Bath. The penalties and a conversion made the difference in the end. Neil Best getting a yellow card was the killer blow, playing the last 8 minutes down to 14 men. The three points from Olly Barkley took Bath ahead and the Saints just couldn't claw it back, despite what sounded like a valiant effort. In fact, at the end they clearly didn't want to simply settle for the bonus point and were trying to get the lead back. A drop goal attempt by Shane sounded a hope rather than an expected score, but it was worth a go.
Scores
Saints - Try: Digger. Pens: Shane Geraghty x5
