Monday's @thetimes column on how Rob Baxter got much the better of JVG. The so called bomb squad were blasted off the park by a superb Exe 2nd half. As an aside, Bath too robotic @ExeterChiefs @bathrugby_news

Idk what's happening with Mike Prendergast, but Bath need to resolve the attack-coach situation. Either get him in the door or have another top-level attack coach ready to go.
The squad is thinner for next season, so if Bath want to make a final, the attack needs fixing ASAP.

I think the chickens are coming home to roost a bit for Bath.
Having Blackett leave a few rounds into the season, then bringing in a temporary replacement, has meant their attack has looked noticeably worse as the season’s gone on.
Not confident for next week against Leicester

Another great @premrugby semi-final. @ExeterChiefs take it. great discipline & 22m attack.
But why didn’t Bath take a drop goal at the end?? #RugbyAnalysis

I think teams have worked us out. We can't hold back our best players for a bomb squad like we did last season. Our pick and go has become defendable. Although we have a better squad this season our attack has become less affective Time for some R & R and then plan for '27 🔵⚫️⚪️

In the regular season, Bath did 421 pick n gos.
The next highest Prem team did 256.
Lack of variety pays, cruelly, when it mattered?

Too hot takey to say Bath have had that coming all season?
Obsession with the pick n go finally hoists them in the semi.
Absolutely astonishing by Exeter to come back from 26-10 away, and to defend for 43 phases at the end.
Exe never lost a semi. 3rd place never won the 🏆!

Baxter was spot on. He deserves massive credit for turning things around for Chiefs.

"I watched the last five minutes of the first half and Bath were doing everything they could to just slow the tempo down."

for those of us that have watched a lot of this team this year… this was coming - we doubled down on the pick and go game and not trusting the backs close to the line. Santi getting slammed for not going for the drop, but it was a 5 on 1 through the hands but we didn’t back it.

Having watched every Bath game this season, the last passage of play comes to no surprise.
There strike rate in the 22 and pick and go’s has not been that good for large parts.
While they score many tries upfront they have left many out there from not getting the ball wide.

What an absolute cracking game of rugby, Bath could have won it but great play from Exeter to deny us at the end. Still an outstanding season from @BathRugby the best atmosphere at Bath I’ve ever experienced

Well, Bath are tough to beat, but you feel they beat themselves in that second half. Traded first half endeavour and intensity for slow defensive play and got punished for it. Well done Chiefs, deserved that win.

Full throttle half from Bath. Still mistakes ball in hand but revved up pack and accurate set piece is winning the battle. Chiefs looking to go wide and exploit the narrow Bath defence. Just need to keep pressuring and not give them an inch. Big half coming up.

Bath beat Chiefs JUST at Rec after going 26 pts up. Since then, Chiefs have beaten Bath and are a better side. They'll fancy this one. I really can't call it! Would obviously be disappointed if they won, but not surprised given Bath's shaky form.

Bath has England's deepest squad. One man's absence should not undermine their belief....though they have missed him in the last few weeks.

🛁 BREAKING: Finn Russell is OUT of tomorrow’s semi-final against Exeter Chiefs.
Santi Carreras starts at fly-half in his place…
That, is massive.

📊 PREM season record breakdown
@BathRugby without Finn Russell at 10
2023/24 - P4, W1, L3
2024/25 - P2, L2
2025/26 - P7, W5, L2
So Bath have got better at dealing with his absence, probably due to the greater squad depth they now enjoy.

Game day and the sun is out and the rain has stopped. Hoping our backs get to run the ball.
Nervous excitement 😬
