PLAYERS WHO UNDERPERFORMED:

#1. Niall Annett (Bath Rugby)

Somerset Live - 0/10: "Red carded after getting involved in some afters while he was warming up in the deadball area."
Annett said after the game on Twitter: Just want to apologise to everyone associated with Bath
“Not how I saw my first game going and deeply embarrassed and disappointed in myself. Players, staff, fans and everyone else associated, sorry for my actions.

#2. Freddie Burns (Leicester Tigers)

Leicestershire Live - 6/10: "His yellow card was a moment of madness after chasing back extremely well following a grubber after Gopperth’s kick was charged down but instead of dotting the ball down, under pressure he swiped the ball into touch."

#3. Bryan Bryne (Bristol Bears)

Bristol Live - 5/10: "The hooker had a difficult day in the lineout with Bristol coming a distant second best in that particular setpiece area, getting picked off on several occasions."

#4. Ian Whitten (Exeter Chiefs)

Devon Live - 5/10: "Went for a baffling pass in the direction of Solomone Kata in the first half that he was lucky did not land in the hands of Harry Potter. A miscommunication with Jack Maunder caused a knock-on that ruled out a Patrick Schickerling try that could have put the game to bed."

#5. Zach Kibirige (Wasps)

Coventry Live - 6/10: "A very quiet game for the right winger, who is now five tries from his last 15."
