Saturday Round-Up

Saturday Round-Up
Robshaw injury woe: Harlequins backrower Chris Robshaw is set for a month long period on the sidelines, after he picked up a shoulder injury during last weekend's vital Champions Cup win over Irish outfit Leinster. Despite completing all 80 minutes, Robshaw has since been to see a specialist who has determined the extent of the injury, advising four weeks away from the game. While initial fears of the need for surgery have gone, Robshaw faces a race to be fit and in form ahead of next year's edition of the Six Nations. Meanwhile, Robshaw's Quins side will take on Leinster in the return fixture later today in the Aviva Stadium.


Bonus for Bath:
Bath fans were left to wait to the final throws of the game to see their side claim a bonus point victory over French outfit Montpellier. Having roared into an early lead courtesy of a brace of tries from former England winger Matt Banahan, it looked as though it was simply a matter of time before the bonus point would come. Banahan crossed once more before the half time mark, as he took a crisp pass from Chris Cook to go over off the back of a rolling maul. However, some poor execution on Bath's part, coupled with a resurgence in forward dominance from Montpellier, meant the game had to wait until Argentine winger Horacio Agulla picked a wonderful line in midfield to sprint under the sticks, handing Bath a 32-12 win in a very tight Pool 4.
