Ollie Devoto, Olly Woodburn and Jack Yeandle all crossed to add to a penalty try award, with Joe Simmonds converting two as well as slotting over a penalty. Minutes later, Bath should have had the game's first try when McConnochie burst down the right flank, but Zach Mercer dropped a decent pass with Will Chudley free outside him. Simmonds then tied the scores with a ninth-minute penalty before Bath lost prop Henry Thomas to a leg injury, with Anthony Perenise taking his place.
