Well, what an afternoon of rugby!!
Cracking result for Bath, myself and fellow supporters!! But most of all, a hell of a game! One or two of Bath's "Stars" had off days, but it's credit to the squad these days that saw others step up to proove the strength in depth that's now with the team. The "Million £ Man" Russell was a mixed bag again - brilliance mixed with arrogance mixed with... well
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
Cracking displays from many others who don't get the limelight of the afore mentioed, but perhaps that's a good thing!! Don't get me wrong, Russell is class, I've supported Bath for over 40 years, but heads up arses is not a good mix IMHO and I don't think there's anymore room in Russell's backside with the idiotic commentators on TNT Sports included.
So, it's a Northampton vs Bath Final at (lah-de-dah) HQ this coming Saturday (timing works well for the Canadian F1

). Saints will be favourites and their scrummaging power will cause issues for Bath - hate to say it, but massive respect for Northampton and the likes of Lawes who will be missed when he moves to France next season. I just hope his last game is on the losing side!!
As for the URC, Judgment Day and the Welsh teams.... Well, good God! Cardiff vs Ospreys turned out to be a cracker and beyond all belief (whilst it was mathematically possible), the Ospreys have qualified in the "Last Eight" and for the Play-offs!! They had to win with a Bonus Point and have 3 other games go their way - they were given a 10% chance of getting there..... AND THEY DID!!
