#34 Bath’s Bomb Squad Delivers, Leinster Click Late, & Glasgow Stunned

Because look what happened against Saracens when he came on.

The Rugby Pod

For me, it is the Maxa Jomos, it is the Carreras, it's these players where I'm like, why are they not starting?

The Rugby Pod
#34 Bath’s Bomb Squad Delivers, Leinster Click Late, & Glasgow Stunned

That's just, you know, from my perspective.

The Rugby Pod
#34 Bath’s Bomb Squad Delivers, Leinster Click Late, & Glasgow Stunned

But if they had lost, I wouldn't say around Jovan Graham, but I would be questioning, well, why did Carreras not start for the reasons you've just said when he came on, what we saw him do for Argentina in the big games?

The Rugby Pod
#34 Bath’s Bomb Squad Delivers, Leinster Click Late, & Glasgow Stunned

Yeah, well, that's why I was challenging.

That's why when I saw Bath at the weekend, you saw how connected Northampton were and how unconnected Bath were, especially in that first half and the first half against Saracens as well.

The Rugby Pod
#34 Bath’s Bomb Squad Delivers, Leinster Click Late, & Glasgow Stunned

But you actually think having got through that game, what a position they're in now, right?

The Rugby Pod

There's going to be changes that are going to make for the Prem.

And we've not seen it.

Saracens...

The Rugby Pod
#34 Bath’s Bomb Squad Delivers, Leinster Click Late, & Glasgow Stunned

I can't think of another team over the last 10 years where a coach has got that many players to choose from and is trying to fix it all together for different games and different competitions.

The Rugby Pod
#34 Bath’s Bomb Squad Delivers, Leinster Click Late, & Glasgow Stunned

And that's the challenge he's going to have, right, when it comes to the latter stages of it.

The Rugby Pod
#34 Bath’s Bomb Squad Delivers, Leinster Click Late, & Glasgow Stunned

He's going to have to nail down a team because I don't think you can go into...

the semi-final of the Champions Cup with a team that you've not picked before or three weeks before or a team that's played together six weeks before.

The Rugby Pod

So I think we'll start to see who his best team is.

The Rugby Pod

But on that Goody and Biggs, in answer to your question, I reckon Thomas Dutoy starts against Bordeaux, right?

The Rugby Pod
#34 Bath’s Bomb Squad Delivers, Leinster Click Late, & Glasgow Stunned

See, I don't reckon he does.

The Rugby Pod
#34 Bath’s Bomb Squad Delivers, Leinster Click Late, & Glasgow Stunned

Yeah.

The Rugby Pod
#34 Bath’s Bomb Squad Delivers, Leinster Click Late, & Glasgow Stunned

Yeah, it's a big moment in the game, isn't it?

The Rugby Pod
#34 Bath’s Bomb Squad Delivers, Leinster Click Late, & Glasgow Stunned

And it is because the momentum that Bath have in that moment, right?
