Should be a cracking game this evening. Perfect weather for running rugby as well.

D'oh !

Bath appear to have learnt exactly fk all in the off season.
Our system appears to be;
In attack - Kick away a st load of possession (poorly)
In defense - Brutal rush early in the game which knackers the entire team after 30 minutes

Ah well.

Good start for George North at the Ospreys

I had to wait for my wife to go to bed before I could watch it, but fortunately she went up early!

Bloody well done Bristol, even if Bath were shockingly poor.. how many tackles did they slip off?

Anyway.... Off to the Stoop tomorrow, and fingers crossed for them stepping up from the standard of their previous premiership performance as Bristol did.

Great atmosphere tonight, club record attendance 26000 plus change. I am a little hoarse.

Oh, and we won!

I realise Bristol are most peoples favourites to go straight back down, but we live in hope!

See you there. Make sure you wave back.

I don't think that's true. Every single pundit prediction I've read had Bristol staying up at Worcester's expense. The way they played last night, I can believe it!

What happened to Charles Piatau though?

Rumours earlier in the week of dislocated shoulder?

That's what we have heard, lasted 10 minutes in the last warm up game. Hope he gets better soonest.

Quins pack looks light to me. Fixture may define the season (it’s the type of match that we have to win). Zero pre season form is worrying.

That is all...

I’ve videoed my teams’ games for 17 seasons. The season someone else has taken over. For that time I’ve only seen the matches live through a 2.5” screen and then when editing the footage on a computer. The only match I’ve seen my club play live was a cup final at Twickenham when my lad scored a try – video available.

I've seen a few Premiership matches, mainly Quinns, but it's not the same as your own team.

I thoroughly enjoyed it today. We won a tight match, the score of 32 : 21 not reflecting the play. It was brilliant. I miss being a part of the team, but this rugby lark is great to watch.

Who are Gallaghers? What do they do?
