Overview

• Bath moved to two wins from two with a 28-16 victory, clinched by Max Ojomoh’s 78th‑minute bonus-point try at the Rec.
• Henry Arundell, Cameron Redpath and Beno Obano crossed in the first half, with captain Ben Spencer converting all four tries.
• George Ford kept Sale in touch with 11 points, including two long-range drop-goals, while Nathan Jibulu scored the visitors’ try.
• Bath’s win was tempered by injuries to forwards Ewels, Roux and Hill, as Finn Russell is expected to return to action next week.
• Off the field, Bath’s proposed 18,000-capacity stadium cleared key approvals from UNESCO and the secretary of state, with formal sign-off awaited, and England head coach Steve Borthwick was present to assess candidates.
