Watson double helps Bath to hard-fought win over Toulon

Anthony Watson scored two sparkling tries in front of England boss Eddie Jones as Bath produced some champagne rugby to down French heavyweights Toulon.

Match Commentary

81'+1		26-21 End of second half
80'		Quick full time verdict A good game of rugby for the neutral fan with some entertaining action at both ends. Neither side really impressed defensively with both lines failing on occassion but with both sides managing to cross the line more than once, it was a decent watch. Louw made some superb tackles for Bath and was everywhere when they really needed his physicaly stature to supress any Toulon forward movements. Watson was again superb. Ashton and Nonu the standouts for Toulon. The latter's involvement in their second try was particularly impressive.
80'		FULL TIME -- TOULON CAN'T MAKE IT -- BATH EMERGE VICTORIOUS!!!
