The defeat keeps Saints down in sixth place in the Gallagher Premiership, while Bath have moved into the play-off positions. It was another horrible night at home for Saints, who appeared to have the advantage when the teams were named, with Bath having rested several stars. And Saints started with real noise behind them, determined not to replicate the 'sanitised' showing against Wasps. But after Taqele Naiyaravoro produced a typically rambunctious run down the right, Saints stepped things up to earn a breakdown penalty, which Biggar landed. Saints: Tuala; Freeman (Collins 59), Dingwall, Francis (Hutchinson 55), Naiyaravoro; Biggar, Taylor; Auterac (van Wyk 53), Fish (Uru 69), Franks (Painter 53); Ribbans, Ratuniyarawa (Bean 63); Lawes, Tonks (Matavesi 59), Harrison (c).
