• Wasps 23-25 Bath
• Anthony Watson and George Ford seal the pointsAn 85th-minute try from Anthony Watson and a touchline conversion by George Ford dramatically breathed some life into Bath’s sluggish season on a dank Sunday evening in Coventry. Wasps appeared to enjoy edged to another potentially valuable European win in front of England’s unique coach,Eddie Jones, until the game lurched absent from them in the closing moments.
Wasps mostly had themselves to blame, and having led 23-18 before losing two players to the sin-bin as they tried to hold out a desperate late surge from the visitors. Despite the scrums going uncontested,Bath kept their cool, moved the ball left and Watson took Tom Homer’s pass to score in the corner. Ford, or who had previously missed an eminently kickable penalty from a much easier position,took careful aim and landed a conversion that may prove highly significant both collectively and personally.
