player ratings Daniel Muxworthy

15. Santiago Carreras – 5

14. Henry Arundell – 5

Discipline questionable. Defence shaky early on; dropped a high ball which led to the second try. Aerial ability looks like a weak point in his game. Came off his wing well to create space for Muir’s second try with his pace. A silly chip over the top led to lost possession. Two ball strips in the second half helped make amends for his first-half defence.

13. Louis Hennessey – 7.5

Has barely started this season and has mostly featured on the wing. Got plenty of early touches. Made a great line break after 20 minutes, with only Louis Bielle-Biarrey stopping him from scoring. Took his try well on the 50-minute mark, beating two defenders with sharp footwork.

12. Ollie Lawrence – 5

Poor grubber kick turned over possession in Bordeaux’s 22, followed by another penalty not long after.

11. Will Muir – 8

Scored a well-taken early try, then added a second in the first half with a fantastic diving finish in the corner. Came off after 65 minutes with a shoulder injury. Bath’s best back on the day.

10. Finn Russell – 5

First conversion went in off the post; missed the second from the corner. Quiet by his standards. Finished 2/3 from the tee.

9. Ben Spencer – 6

Fully fit? His varied kicking game is vital to Bath’s success. Excellent early on, including a perfectly weighted cross-kick assist for the first try. Swung momentum on 63 minutes with a huge clearance kick.

8. Alfie Barbeary – 5

Solid carrying throughout. Won a turnover on Bordeaux’s try line but made a few first-half errors.

7. Guy Pepper – 6

Bumped off early by Moefana. Penalised for not rolling away, which led to an easy three points just before half-time.

6. Josh Bayliss (150th Cap) – 6

Very busy on both sides of the ball. Produced a key maul turnover on 60 minutes to shift momentum.

5. Charlie Ewels – 4

Similar to Roux: solid enough but no standout moments. Yellow carded for collapsing a maul, which led to a try.

4. Quinn Roux – 5

Quiet game. A few carries and lineout takes, with no major mistakes.

3. Thomas Du Toit – 6

Usually comes off the bench. Put in a solid shift with plenty of work, but no standout moments.

2. Tom Dunn – 4

Snuffed out a classic Jalibert chip-and-chase with a great read in the first half. Solid at the set piece overall, though a few lineout throws were lost. Some handling errors. Subbed off after 46 minutes.

1. Beno Obano – 5

Won a scrum penalty in the first half but was beaten badly in the scrum in the build-up to Bordeaux’s third try.

REPLACEMENTS:

16. Kepueli Tuipulotu – 4

Came on early in the second half. Overthrew a lineout.

17. Francois van Wyk – 4

18. Vilikesa Sela – 3

Came on with seven minutes remaining.

19. Ted Hill – 4

20. Sam Underhill – 4

21. Tom Carr-Smith – 5

Given five minutes at the end and scored a try.

22. Tom de Glanville – 4

Came on for Muir on the wing after 65 minutes.

23. Miles Reid – 4
