Prem round 10

Bath definitely benefitting from Warriors' issues - Lawrence has made a huge difference to them.   Meanwhile only a couple of mins in and the officials have already missed a huge forward pass that ultimately cost Tigers 3 points.

Missed the Leicester players going beyond the ball at the ruck for their try and cronin off his feet there too.

Always something!

I missed the try but not surprised - officials still in the changing rooms

Think they only decided to give that forward pass due to the crowd noise.

Lawrence so far looking very classy in both attack and defence.

He could save Bath's season all on his own ...

Just seems there go to man at the moment. Hill looking like the big 6 that England are looking for instead of a lock too. Oh well.

How many of these players have come from Warriors? Seems quite a lot - makes you wonder how Bath had so much spare cap space?

Deliberately knocked into touch for me - his arms are going upwards too quickly for a catch

There would be a decision to make before that which would be is it a knock on. So even if it were decided a deliberate knock into touch did the Leicester player regather.

They're playing Leicester. Do caps count in these games?

Joe Jenkins became Bristol Bears’ youngest ever Premiership player last weekend at the age of 19.
Richard Wigglesworth had been playing professional rugby for two years before Jenkins was born.

21 seasons is some achievement

Not sure that was actually a knock-on by Tigers - the one before the deliberate one

Forward pass much earlier in that move than the one spotted ...

Pretty good finish. Leicester trying to buy a pen is pretty cynical afterwards. If Lawrence has played like this for the last few weeks how is he not in the England squad.

From the little I've seen Lawrence has been flying ...

Tigers will rue not putting more points on in the first half.

Officials were pretty average ...

It was Charlie Clare, he's just not that bright. He and Redpath have both got a bit of a temper and it flared up at the end after some verbals. All a bit of nothing.

Potter had an uncharacteristic shocker. Two certain tries and another where he should have given the pass for a try. You can't be that sloppy away from home and expect to get a win. Tigers discipline was pretty shoddy as well which given three weeks off is maybe not a massive surprise.

George Martin Vs Ted Hill was a great battle. Hill made that big hit on Wells that saved a try and Martin seemed to enjoy joining Cracknell in double smashing any Bath player trying to crash over the gain line and made some pretty good carries himself. They both gave good auditions for future England call ups.
