Bath’s Finn Russell caught the attention of keen-eyed viewers as Gloucester experienced a historic ninth consecutive Premiership defeat, falling 17-10 at The Rec.
At half-time, Ruan Ackermann and an Adam Hastings penalty secured a 10-5 lead for the visitors, complemented by Bath’s Tom de Glanville adding to the score.
Despite Will Muir’s try leveling the playing field, a second from De Glanville ultimately placed Bath in control.
With this victory, Bath ascended to third place, while Gloucester extended their league win drought since October 20.
Commentators added a humorous touch, speculating that Russell’s choice of mismatched boots might be a tactic to distinguish between his right and left feet during the game.
