Bath stick to attacking style to tame Leicester Tigers 47-10 in Aviva Premiership semi-final
They make it sound so simple.
Catch and pass, attack space, play what’s in front of you whether that is from your own or the opposition’s five-metre line.
When Bath’s coaches and players discuss their attacking game, it all seems straightforward but that belies the technical precision behind their dissection of Leicester on Saturday.
The other quality that courses through this entire team is what Mike Ford, their head coach, summed up as “courage”.
Many a fine attacking side has got to this stage and clammed up, reverting to the safety net of caution and circumspection.
Not Bath.
