STRONG SECCOND HALF KILLS OFF BATH

A breakaway try was the difference between the two teams at half time as Northampton play the ball Louw is able to take his pace and run to the other side of the pitch. You could see how important this match was to both sides.

In the second half Northampton took complete with a change if intensity which allowed for  control of the game with 2 tries of their own from Dowden and Foden.

Bath feel that they have had a poor season as they have not had a trophy but they did finish fifth which means European Champions cup and get to the semi final of the LV= cup to me this would be a good season but it is good to see teams set their ambitions high.

WASPS FIND A WAY TO EUROPE

Barnell scored a perfect kick pass to start the move and through some good passing from one side of the pitch to the other Wasps get a try in the corner which is converted

Stade then had some bad luck as a try was disallowed from Hascal but when they went to the TMO they had realised that there was a high tackle

Stade kick 2 penalties to be within 1. Wasps then hit back with a penalty of their own to lead by 10 points to 6 at half time

The fairness of all of this is balanced out as wasps have a try disallowed for a knock on

 

Wasps then score a try from a kick and go as Johnson passes to Thomson who puts the ball on the Stade line.

Goode scores a penalty which puts Stade out of the contest

TOLON SHOW THEIR CLASS

Saracens started like a dream as a Tolon error left a bad scrum which lead to the penalty

Tolon then show why they are the best team in Europe by getting a try on the half hour as a Kick fro Gueto and a hand pass to Michell who puts the ball on the ground to give Tolon the lead Wilkinson converts

Tolon then get a drop goal from a line out which leads to a scrum and Johhny Wilkinson hitting a penalty to allow Tolon to take total control 13-3 at half time

Tolon then get a try on 60 minutes by Lobbe as a Saracens error starts the move to create the gap to flick back inside to maybe win the match Johnny converts so they now lead 20-6

Wilkinson gets a penalty to seal the cup as tolon win 23-6
