Bath lose - and go up the table

If ever more evidence were needed to show that the margin between sides in the Guinness Premiership is paper thin, then it came at the weekend.

Play-off hopefuls Sale were stuffed by Northampton and the team-of-the-moment Newcastle Falcons beat Harlequins, another play-off contender.

Such results mean that Bath Rugby, despite losing to Saracens, have actually climbed the table from fifth to fourth courtesy of a losing bonus point.

Elsewhere in the league, Wasps came within a whisker of beating top-of-the-table Gloucester, and Bristol almost beat Leicester Tigers.

This weekend confirmed that there are no easy matches in this league. The race to get in the top four to secure a play-off place is still wide open with five rounds to go.
