Bath get a penalty after Newport are penalised following Bath winning a scrum. Heathcote steps up and makes no mistake after his earlier penalty miss. Bath back in front
Intelligent play from Bath scrum-half Roberts as he kicks the ball into the corner from a ruck. Newport to throw in 5 metres from their line.
Tom Biggs finds space and shows Newport his frightening pace. Bath look to build but they knock the ball on. Newport will not want to give Biggs an opportunity to show his pace again and will look to keep him quiet.
Newport destroy the Bath scrum and Faletau looks to make a break and get his second score of the game but he is tackled into touch.
Both sides really putting pressure on eachother now. Bath being a bit sloppy and losing the ball in a ruck.
What a response from the Dragons they manage to turn the ball over near half way, and the ball finds its way to Toby Faletau on the right wing in acres of space. and The British and Irish lions man races clear like a number 14 and touches town for Dragons. Tovey gets the extra's and now we have a game on here at The Rec
Well Bath really have dominated the game as soon the whistle was blown and they have got the try that they're early pressure deserves. Heathcote makes a break from halfway and the ball goes through the hands in the backline and finally makes it's way to Richard Lane who gets over the line. He is just back from injury and will be delighted with that.
Great atmosphere here at The Rec, The Bath fans are really getting behind they're team today.
Poor start from The Dragons as they give away a penalty with only a minute on the clock. Heathcote steps up but his kick has the legs but not the direction and goes wide.
Tom Heathcote gets the game underway here.
