Bath hold on for narrow win over Gloucester

George Ford kicks all the points for Bath as they beat Gloucester 15-13 in the Aviva Premiership.

Bath Rugby have taken a 15-13 win over Gloucester Rugby in the Aviva Premiership this evening.

Neither side was able to find the try line in the opening half, with rain leading to handling problems, but George Ford managed to kick the home side to a 9-3 lead at the break, despite missing two attempts at the uprights late in the half.

Freddie Burns missed a penalty attempt midway through the second half as the visitors tried to get back into the game, but burst through the Bath defence three minutes later to add the only try of the match.

Anthony Watson was sent to the sin bin for an illegal challenge on James Simpson-Daniel, giving Burns another kick to leave the visitors just two points behind their rivals.

Ford missed a drop goal and penalty late on as Bath tried to seal the win, but his earlier efforts were enough to secure the victory for the hosts, moving them up to second in the table.
