OHC should've passed inside to Liebenberg there and we'd've scored about 20 phases sooner. Fairly certain there was a lot of cheating with that double-turnover in the middle of it all, but probably balanced.

Feels unfair after the Pepper try cancelled out for practically nothing, but we're back in the game! Perese is carrying us single-handed.

Unbelievably harsh on Cole - man was in the air attempting the charge down

Not straightforward, but Healey's still worng IMO
Dunno how he doesn't see Coles elbow out there. No head contact, but leading with the elbow at the time of body contact.

Not sure I get that logic. It's definitely a penalty and probably a yellow, because he jumps into Russell and it's established law that you're responsible for contact if you jump into a kicker, but saying it's only a penalty because he brings his arms down is wild. What's he meant to do in Dickson's head - keep his arms up so he lands ribs first on Russell's shoulder?!

Liebenberg looked a better first receiver there than Pollard has all game.

It was pretty careless tbh. Not straightforward but in the current environment….

How many people keep their feet if hit by a flying Cole, elbow first?

Granted, Pollard has been a shit 10 all game, but he's responsible for 14 of our points from those two ridiculous penalty touch finders.

If we win this, it will be daylight robbery.

Youngs kicked that away. Pretty sad end to his and Cole’s career.

Well that was the right result based on the season, but one hell of a dull final for a neutral with shite refereeing throughout.

Not a satisfying win. But I don't think I care.

A decent ref and that's a hell of a game of rugby.
As is, just a hell of a contest.

Yeah, that was the right result, both on the day and across the season. Fair play Bath, you deserved that.

Good last 10, but a dire kick fest mostly with poor skill levels under pressure I guess
