Steve Meehan more keen to celebrate return to the top of Guinness Premiership than his players
Steve Meehan, the Bath director of rugby, had to order his players to
celebrate on Saturday after victory put them back at the top of the Guinness
Premiership. At the end, after Peter Short, Bath’s replacement flanker, had
bundled Declan Danaher, the London Irish flanker, into touch a metre from
their tryline, there was only relief. Bath had been winning easily, but were
forced to hold on grimly in the last 15 minutes of a 19-16 win.
