What are we expecting in the Bath game?

I guess there will be two schools of thought.
One, that a wounded animal is a dangerous animal, and that last
weekend will have been a wakeup call to the Bath squad. They are
individually good players, for the most part, with some being
exceptional (e.g. Sam Underhill), so they will presumably click
at some point and, the shame of Sarries may well spur them on to
exceptional things this week.
The other school of thought will be that they are so
disorganised and demoralised that if they concede a couple of
scores early, heads will go down, memories will come flooding
back, and it could be a bloodbath for them once again.
I'm sure that Tabai and the coaches will have prepped the Quins
team very well based the first of those scenarios, but should we
worry that we may still come into the game overconfident after
the successes of our first three matches and Bath's appalling
record so far this season?
My personal worry would be that Sale outmuscled us last week up
front, and, that when a team can manage that for the whole 80
minutes we look distinctly vulnerable. Can Bath do that?

Meh. If we can't take 5 points from this game we may as well
give up. Bath are there for the taking.

Well, thanks so much for that considered response.

I still dont think we were out muscled last week. Seen it
mentioned a few times. I thought we gave as good as we got.
Sloppy mistakes and careless play cost us. Yes they missed
kicks, but we butchered some god chances early on.
This week, id be looking to come out all guns blazing and put
them under pressure early

Yh I agree with honkytonk, come out flying and put them under
pressure. Get some early tries and watch their heads drop.
Both teams want to immediately bounce back from a defeat but
Bath haven't actually won yet and will be desperate to get a
first win and put last week's embarrassing defeat behind them.
I don't think we will, but I just don't want us to get over
confident and let Bath into the game.

Luke Pearce is the ref I can’t remember if that is good or bad?

According to the stats:
We are on a 10 game winning streak at home (longest in our
Premiership History)
Bath have never lost their first 5 opening games before (they
are on a 4 game losing streak)
So something has to give...

Should be very good. Not only is he ranked as one of the top
referees in the world, he makes players speed the game up. That
will suit us greatly.

I slightly worry about our defence of the rolling maul but
hopefully we've been working on it this weekk.
