Carreras magic lights up Bath win over Harlequins
A terrific try from full-back Santiago Carreras is the highlight of Bath's Prem opening night bonus-point victory over Harlequins.
In an impressive display of skill and agility, Bath secured a 33-17 bonus-point victory over Harlequins in their opening match of the season. The standout moment of the game came from full-back Santiago Carreras, who executed a remarkable try by intercepting a pass with his boot, kicking it into the air, and then collecting it one-handed before crossing the try line. This extraordinary act of athleticism was a testament to Carreras' ability to find magic in the midst of the chaos on the field.
Bath's tries were scored by Porter, Cunningham-South, and Delgado, while Harlequins responded with tries from Du Preez, Cokanasiga, and Frost. The first-half saw Bath leading 28-10, courtesy of Porter and Chandler Cunningham-South. Pedro Delgado's try in the second half narrowed the gap to 11 points, but Ewan Richards' late try for Harlequins was not enough to secure a win. The victory sets the tone for a promising new season for Bath.
