Early back and forth, before a free kick against Bath for early engage and then a penalty for pulling down the maul just inside Gloucester's half. Robinson attempts from 5m in his own half, but is short and wide and Vesty clears.

Penalty from the scrum on half way to Bath and Watson takes it quickly, but loses the ball in contact. A speculative kick forward and Abendanon takes, but his team mates let him down and fail to control the contact. Carraro loses it, Glaws spin it wide and Vainikolo goes over in the corner. Robinson nails a superb conversion. 7-0 Glaws.

A penalty against Watson for taking a man without the ball, Glaws rumble forward and Bath are caught offside in midfield. Robinson hits the post and Bath are let off.

Bath use all the width of the pitch back and forward and force a lineout deep in Glaws territory, but the bar of soap goes loose and Glaws are suddenly on the attack. Hazell butchers an overlap and Bath's defence absorb the pressure but a brainless penalty at the ruck gives Glaws an easy 3. 10-0 Glaws.

A quick restart from Bath gets them a lineout in Glaws 22. Side-entry from Glaws at the ruck gives Barkley an opportunity to get on the board and, despite the ball falling off the tee, he slots it. 10-3 Glaws.

Bath's defence then falls asleep even worse than Gloucester's from the next kick off and Robinson gets in the corner. He misses the conversion, but Bath are staring down the barrel of a 15-3 deficit and look all asleep.

Another quick restart, another penalty, but Barkley can't stick this one. A speculative up-and-under from Abendanon swirls in the breeze and forces a knock on from Robinson giving Bath a scrum on the 22, but a poor pass from LAW squanders it. Some positive build-up, but Grewcock gets ahead of the play and Barkley throws a forward pass. Some back and forward and then Claassens knocks a high ball on. Bath continue to look at half pace.

Barnes then gets done by Doran-Jones in the scrum and Robinson lines up the penalty. A shanked kick lets Bath off the hook again. Wayne Barnes then makes up a penalty to give Robinson another chance and it's 18-3 at half-time and Bath really need a slap about the face.

LAW off at half time injured and Skirving replaces him. Moody runs like a nutter into Sharples and hurts his eye. The ball goes wide with Bath on the attack and Hamilton deliberately kills the ball and earns himself a yellow card. Bath go for the corner and spin it wide, but get rucked off the ball and concede a penalty.

Mistake after mistake leads from Bath leads to a Gloucester 5m line out, but Bath manage to snatch it and get a bit of territory. Wayne Barnes then makes up a forward pass and Glaws get scrum on the Bath 22. Catt and Wilson on for the ageing and fading Barnes and Bell marmalise the Glaws scrum and the penalty gets Bath into the Gloucester half. Some good hands push Bath forward, but Grewcock knocks on and the sinbin expires with no points scored. Barnes evens up the scrum penalties and Gloucester are back on the attack. Glaws nick a Bath scrum and Burns snaps a drop goal, but it's just wide.

Some more kicks push Bath deep into Gloucester territory, but the Bath lineout is limp. Glaws stick a big paw out and the deliberate knock on gives Bath a 5m lineout. However Bath are messy in the tight again and the ball is knocked on. Bath get a turnover at the scrum and get another 5m lineout. Bath organise better this time and Gloucester are forced to pull down the maul. This time Bath take the scrum, but referee Barnes penalises Wilson and Gloucester's set piece rolls down the pitch.

More mess in midfield before Barkley pushes Bath into the 22 again. Again though, Bath are too lateral and too easy to defend. A rare won lineout gets Bath back onto the attack... but a spilt ball ends that again. Bath win a penalty from the scrum, but get pushed into touch again. Bath win the ball back, but knock on again. Glaws kick the ball away, and Bath knock on again. I may be repeating myself.

Knock-ons from Hape and Grewcock lead us into the last 5 minutes and a resignation on the pitch and in the ground. Catt wins a penalty and there's no doubt Bath's scrum has improved since he and Wilson replaced Barnes and Bell, but further mess at the breakdown and Bath lose the ball again. Bath get a penalty for Gloucester being offside... and knock on again. The time ticks on, over and out.

It'd be easy to focus on the sub-schoolboy handling in this game, but the most worrying things for Bath were how easily they were beaten at the breakdown and the continuing shambles at the lineout. Forwards happily boast after wins that they win the games and the backs decide by how many. After this loss the forwards and their coach need to take a serious look at themselves.
