Premiership Cup: Newcastle and Bath through to semi-finals

Newcastle consultant director of rugby Steve Diamond told BBC Radio Newcastle:

“They’ve clearly got a very good group of young players coming through. We could have been better but it’s what cup rugby is about.

“They got into the game and we couldn’t shake them off. We had to go back to basics and the driving maul to win the game.

“We never got more than a score in front and it kept them in the game but a win’s a win.”

Bath assistant coach Andy Robinson told BBC Radio Bristol:

“It was a really pleasing second half and we knew with the players coming on we could dominate and that’s what we did.

“We played a good power game, found the field position through penalties and put the power on in their 22.

“We wanted to give some of the senior guys game time because they haven’t played for four weeks and we’re delighted how they played with the younger players.”
