Fijian winger Joe Cokanasiga shone on the field as he scored two tries, contributing to Bath’s remarkable 10-try victory over Saracens at the Recreation Ground. This win has propelled Bath to a five-point lead at the top of the Premiership standings.
The match took a significant turn early on when Bath was awarded a penalty try. Things went from bad to worse for Saracens, as flanker Toby Knight received a red card for a high tackle just 14 minutes into the match, leaving the visitors a player down for the remainder of the game.
Will Muir was a standout performer, netting a hat-trick, while Cokanasiga added two more tries to his impressive tally. Bath’s other try-scorers included Thomas du Toit, Cameron Redpath, Sam Underhill, and Ollie Lawrence. Saracens managed a solitary consolation try from Kapeli Pifeleti.
This monumental victory marks Bath’s sixth consecutive win in the Premiership, widening their gap to 10 points over Saracens, who currently sit fourth, and five points ahead of second-place Bristol.
In a notable mention, Eroni Mawi of Fiji made an appearance for Saracens, coming off the bench, despite the overwhelming loss.
This performance underscores Bath’s dominant form, setting a positive tone for the rest of the season as they continue to build momentum. The team’s ability to capitalize on both their strengths and their opponents’ mistakes bodes well as they aim for further success in the Premiership.
