The Gallagher Premiership rolled on for it’s second round this past weekend, and after compelling performances from all our West Country sides in their opening fixtures, the pressure was on to keep their foot on the gas.
With Gloucester out of action for their bye week, Exeter Chiefs defeated the spirited but uncertain Worcester Warriors 36-21 at Sixways, while Bristol Bears also remained undefeated in a strong defensive showing at the Coventry Building Society Arena with a 23-8 victory over Wasps.
Bath meanwhile were not so fortunate, as they were comfortably beaten 37-20 by table toppers Sale Sharks at The Rec in a performance that concerningly emulated many of their showings from last season.
