Mike Ford: 'Saracens gave Bath a lesson'

Ford: 'Saracens gave us a lesson'
Mike Ford says that Saracens coped better with the conditions in their game against Bath earlier.

Mike Ford has said that Bath were given a lesson by Saracens in their 22-0 loss to the side earlier today.

Saracens temporarily moved to the top of the Aviva Premiership table following the victory.

Bath's defensive coach told Sky Sports News: "Obviously, we knew what Saracens would do. It's not rocket science the way they play and conditions probably suited them a bit more than us.

"Fair play to them, they gave us a lesson today. I think the killer blow was the try. Once you go 10 points down, especially in conditions like that against a team of Saracens' ilk, then it's very, very difficult to pull it back.

"Their defence is outstanding isn't it? Any time they were in our half, second half, they kicked three points. It's a good lesson for us about how to play the conditions, really."

Following Harlequins' win, Saracens now sit second, while Bath are seventh.
