SUNDAY
WASPS 23-25 BATH
WATSON SCORES WINNER
FOR BATH IN LAST MINUTE
Anthony Watson's 85th-minute converted try secured Bath a
dramatic win over Wasps in the European Champions Cup.
With new England boss Eddie Jones watching, Rob Miller's try
looked enough for Wasps after Jonathan Joseph and Matt Banahan crossed for
Bath.
But Wasps lost two men to the sin-bin in the final minutes
as they tried to defend a five-point lead.
Watson's score in the corner followed by George Ford's
difficult conversion handed Bath victory.
Nothing has been set in stone in this group as Leinster if
they can get the wins are not out of it but this was a very Big win for Bath as
they can see a passage to the quarters
TOULON 24-9 LEINSTER
ARMATAGE DOUBLE
GIVES TOULON VITAL WIN
Defending champions Toulon claimed a first Champions Cup
victory of the season by beating winless Leinster.
Steffon Armitage touched down from a catch and drive, with
Eric Escande kicking the conversion and a penalty for Toulon's first-half
points.
Johnny Sexton's three penalties kept the visitors in touch,
but Escande added three of his own after the break.
Armitage crossed again at the death to all but end
Leinster's prospects of progressing from Pool Five.
Toulon look ready to go again for the European cup as this
was a massive game for both sides. Leinster are now starting to realise they
are in trouble.
OYONNAX 10-45 SARACENS
ITOJE TRY PUTS
SARACENS IN DREAMLAND
Saracens ran in six tries to thrash Oyonnax and take control
of their European Champions Cup group.
A penalty try and scores from Alex Goode and Chris Wyles
gave Sarries a 24-3 lead at half-time.
The bonus point was wrapped up four minutes after the break
as Maro Itoje crossed, shortly before Richard Wigglesworth touched down.
Arthur Aziza went over for Oyonnax but Schalk Brits was
awarded a late effort to complete the rout for Saracens.
Aziza's try was a deserved consolation for the French side
Saracens are definitely one of the big teams in this years
European cup asnd would be one to watch out for come the Knockout stages
