Mike Ford happy with "excellent" Bath

Bath coach Mike Ford says that his side were "excellent" during their European Rugby Champions Cup win over Montpellier.

Mike Ford has said that his Bath Rugby side were "excellent" during their win over Montpellier in the European Rugby Champions Cup.

The English side beat their French opponents 30-5 to secure their first win of the campaign, keeping alive their chances of reaching the knockout stages.

The coach told BBC Sport: "I thought we were excellent in the first half, we built a score, got a couple of tries right before the break and we were on top.

"I unleashed the bench after 50 minutes and I thought we had enough time to get that bonus point. We are unbelievably frustrated that the game turned so scrappy.

"Of course we are disappointed as we needed a bonus point because of where we are in the pool, but hopefully Glasgow and Toulouse can take points off each other and we can get a win next week."

Bath are now four points off the top of Pool Four.
