HEAVENS ABOVE â NORTHAMPTON SAINTS V BATH
And as the New Year turns the corner, so does the Premiership. Half the season is gone so we return to the opening day fixtures albeit in reverse.Back in September, the build-up to the game was all about a Twickenham reprisal. Bath were out for revenge or so it was said. True or not, it was a strong Blue, Black and White performance that day. I recall Will Butt ripping holes through midfield with particular fondness.Fast forward four months and eight games and Bath have won a further seven matches. Saints have won just four of their nine. 19 points and seven places separate the two sides in the table.A banker away win for Bath then? Maybe not. There are signs the Saints may be stirring.
