Team Bath 54 V Surrey Storm 80
Malawi captain Caroline Mtukule made her debut in a game which saw Storm win the later stages of a game in front of 1700 spectators in Bath. Ali Wilshier, named as Team Bath’s Most Valuable Player, added: “The end score doesn’t show it but I thought it was a massive step up from us tonight in the first three quarters. Each week we are seeing progression and that’s what we will take from the game.”

Northampton 45 V Bath RFC 26
Bath led at one point early on but missed chances cost them dear although not a rout with four tries for the Blue Black and Whites. The Saints go marching on but an injury to Jonathan Joseph is a blow for the travellers – but some good spells of play suggest Bath may yet see a resurgence if they can be consistent.
