Santiago Carreras lit up Bath’s 33-17 bonus-point victory over Harlequins on the opening night of the Prem. The Argentina full-back’s try was the standout moment of Bath’s win.
From a Tyrone Green pass, Carreras intercepted the ball with his foot before flicking it into the air. He then gathered it one-handed just before it went into touch, accelerating away to score beneath the posts.
The scoresheet lists tries from Dan du Preez, Joe Cokanasiga, Santiago Carreras, Dan Frost and Ewan Richards, while Russell landed four conversions. Pedro Delgado cut the gap to 11 points early in the second half, but Richards’ late try secured a winning start to the season for Bath.
