For all fans of Bath Rugby Club
A first-quarter blitz saw Bath Rugby blow Harlequins away and jump up to third in the Aviva Premierhip.
The Black, Whites and Blue at home will take on Treviso to start their quest of Pool 5.
In the pool 5, the Italians are the team that are lowest seeded and except the bonus-point nothing will satisfy the coaches in case the Black, Whites and Blue are to play against the Toulon and Scarlets and if they progress to the level of the quarterfinals in the championship. This will also bring the positivity in the team. So, the team has to work really hard.
Chris Brookerjoined Bath Rugby for his second term at the club in a contract that will run until the end of the season to ease a spate of front-row injuries.
A decision has been made by Bath Rugby to keep George Ford on rest for the next games.
The game between Bath and Gloucester had not started on a good note for Bath as there had been a few slip-ups.
Director of Rugby for Bath Rugby, Blackadder recently talked about some of the leadership positions in the club and went on to explain he choose Matt Garvey and not Guy Mercer to be the on-field captain.
That title might be confusing. But here is the deal.
A Bath Rugby fan was stuck in open day traffic. As the parents get stuck in the traffic, the baby almost born on London Road. Well, the parents Jennifer Miller and Phil are huge fans of Bath Rugby. Being diehard fans of the club, they wanted to give birth at Bath’s Royal United Hospital. They rushed to the hospital when her water broke. However, she had to give birth to the baby while stuck in the traffic. The baby was born around lunchtime. It’s a girl and they named her Megan.
Bath Rugby is also delighted to hear this news as they have a brand new supporter of the club. They hope that this new supporter will be lucky for them in the upcoming games. Even if not, they are more than happy to have this little fan. How did their story get media attention? Well, it was filled with so much drama, as is the case with all the Bath stories.
Well, on the day she was born, Phil was all set to go to the stadium to see his home team play. The team was supposed to play against Worcester. But he had to cancel all his plans when his wife Jennifer went into labor, which was fast moving without any doubt. They live in Holt and left for the hospital assuming that they will reach the hospital in 30 minutes. It was university open day. And it was game day for Bath Rugby. Now you can imagine the kind of traffic on the road.
Phil wanted to use the bus lane. But being a police officer, Jennifer didn’t let him do that even though she was screaming in pain. After a while they realized that they wouldn’t make it to the hospital on time. Well, now you know how we have the story of the London Road baby.
Bath rugby team is on a high as they defeated the Tigers with a thorough run.
Peter Betham and his strategies were good and effective in defeating the Tigers. Mike Ford is the head coach for Bath team, stated that the win was great for him. However, in terms of how the team performed, it could have been a lot better. He felt that the motivational speech at half time did the work. It helped drive in the energy required by the team to win. They were able to put in the extra energy as well as extra yard that were required for the win.
Bath team definitely ended their season on a high. They welcomed Leicester Tigers at the home ground Rec. They did not maintain good form through the season though. In order to reach Aviva Premiership final they had to put up a lot of struggle last year. This year the team was in better shape. However, there were still a lot of doubts as to whether they will be able to play the final game well. That is because some of the players were injured before they were ready to play against Bath.
There was several other ambivalent information that made fans unsure at first about how the team will perform in the final match. The medical chief of the club and Amanaki Mafi had some altercation. Twitter also showcased news of Horacio Agulla leaving the team by the end of the current season. As a result, it was not sure how the team would perform in the final match. Once the team started to play against the Tigers, there was a lot of tension in the air. However the final session saw them pulling through. As a result, the team and their fans ended the season on an optimistic note.
On Thursday, in Manchester, Brisbane Broncos chief Wayne Bennett has been unveiled as the new coach of the England rugby league team.
He will also continue his existing role in the NRL. Bennett is the 3rd Australian to coach one of the top England national squads with his fellow compatriot Eddie Jones in charge of the rugby union team and Trevor Bayliss in-charge of the cricket teams.
Wayne Bennett, who is considered as the greatest coach of the modern era, will be in-charge for 2 seasons.
The sixty-six year old Australian stated that he would not be happy unless the sports become one of the dominant games in the world. He stated that this is a great product. He wants people to talk about rugby and get a bit of passion going. If people do not talk about the national team or the players in hotels, coffee shops and offices, then it is a problem.
Since the announcement, sales of tickets for England’s next game against New Zealand have through the roof, with www.liverugbytickets.co.uk also reporting record numbers of requests after the match was confirmed a sell-out. There are reasons to be optimistic.
Wayne Bennett has a great influence in making both New Zealand and Australia the top 2 teams in the world. The performance of these two teams has gone through magnificent improvement in recent years.
Bennett added that he was not surprised about England’s poor run earlier. He added that for a long time England had wrong people in responsibility at various stages and they had taken many poor decisions. They went through a lot of coaches and players and it does not work. The best organizations are ones that have good stability. He also praised his predecessor. He said that Steve has done a great job in the past few years.
Rhys Priestland, the fly half for the Welsh region side Scarlets has said that his summer move to the Aviva Premiership Rugby Football Union club Bath Rugby may as well be harmful for his career as a Welsh international.
