Bath didn't emerge from the dressing room until ten minutes before half time - at which stage they were 19-0 down.
They 'won' the second half to make it 32-19, but their defence was awful - it took three Bath tacklers to stop each Newcastle ball carrier - so not quite two scores ahead turned out to be not quite enough.
Nice tries from Rokodoguni and Joseph, though. And a lovely afternoon.
Fully agree. They 'won' the second half to make it 32-19, but their defence was awful - it took three Bath tacklers to stop each Newcastle ball carrier - so not quite two scores ahead turned out to be not quite enough.

Complacent at the start. Complacent once the work had been put incto get to 32-19.
Horrible feeling that its the sort of result that comes back to bite you at the end of the season when you are 3 points off the top 4.....

Long way to go yet - we had the advantage in the opening game due to quins poor discipline - need to wind the teams up a bit more. Hopefully though some home form will kick in and we can get the points we need.
I think Worcester will let London Irish off the hook.
you may be right

Blimey! I don't really follow the Pro14 table, so had assumed you meant "except for the Italians", but have just discovered that you didn't!!!Also, having just taken a look at the tables, how have Glasgow managed to play 4 matches already, when plenty of the other teams have only played two?
Poor game but Bath beat Wasps away! 
I would have staked a vast amount of money on our 5 opening games not including beating Leicester & Wasps away & Sarries at home!
Especially given we lost to Northampton (away) & Newcastle at home.
Overall - for a tough set of games would definitely have taken that! Despite losing one we should have won.

Maybe they're not up to playing every week?
Interesting post-match interview after Leinster - Munster yesterday: http://www.the42.ie/peter-omahony-reggie-corrigan-...
It was a pretty dull affair TBH, and both sides need to up their game going into Europe
