Bath ease past Harlequins

A try from Jonathan Joseph helps Bath to a 14-3 win over Harlequins in the Aviva Premiership.

Bath Rugby have moved above Harlequins in the Aviva Premiership table after beating the London side 14-3 this afternoon.

George Ford kicked the home side to a first-half lead, adding three penalties in the first 25 minutes, but it could have been more, as the fly-half had a couple of efforts drift wide towards the end of the opening 40 minutes.

Quins finished the opening period a man short as Charlie Walker was sent to the sin bin for a reckless challenge on Anthony Watson.

Bath extended their lead at the start of the second half as Jonathan Joseph broke free to add the only try of the match.

Ford had another couple of efforts at the posts later in the half but the weather conditions made it tricky, preventing him from extending Bath's advantage further.
