Owen Farrell landed the conversion and added a penalty after 13 minutes as Bath struggled to find their rhythm. Ollie Lawrence provided the necessary reset, first with a crash-ball surge almost to the try-line and then the tip-on for Will Muir to score in the corner from the five-metre scrum. Russell converted and delivered a prodigious 40-22 kick to pile on the pressure again. Scotland back-row Josh Bayliss won the resulting line-out and retrieved a loose ball to evade three defenders on his way to the tryline, with Russell's conversion putting the home side 14-10 ahead after 20 minutes. Consecutive penalty awards against the visitors led to Alfie Barbeary exploiting an opening from a catch-and-drive for the third Bath try.
