"It was an extreme week last week, brief week, and afterward to openly oppose the defending champs and haul that out of the sack, I'm truly satisfied for the young men.

"I thought the young men are beginning to truly will holds with what Brent's [Janse van Rensburg, protection coach] attempting to do. We looked better moving the ball.

"Nathan Hughes worked out in a good way, didn't he. I thought Ben Spencer was totally remarkable, bringing him onto the ball. However, Nate's progressed admirably, done all around well for us."

Harlequins senior mentor Tabai Matson:

"On the off chance that we reduce everything down, we just had 27% of the ball. As far as we might be concerned, for anybody, that won't sufficiently be, let alone in an away apparatus.

"We didn't have the ball enough, and what supported that was losing the airborne fight actually inadequately this evening. I don't have any idea how frequently we dropped it or had a turnover in that first ruck.

"Give Bath credit. I think before the game I said they planned to demolish certain individuals' ends of the week, and they have, on the grounds that they accepted their open doors."
