Player Updates
Bath took on Harlequins in their season opening match and trailed 12-0 after 8 minutes.
They eventually worked their way back into the game and in the 33rd minute young Prop Billy Sela powered over from close range to score his first Premiership try.

Kalaveti Ravouvou started on the wing for Fiji against Scotland. He made a great run in the first after receiving a great offload from Lekima Tagitagivalu, but the play didn’t result in points.
Defensively was caught out for Scotland’s first try but scored his own just before halftime, finishing off some great work by the Flying Fijians backline.
