Francois Louw was named Man of the Match after Bath’s 26-21 win against Toulon, while there were also European Champions Cup victories for Ulster, Montpellier, the Scarlets, Racing 92 and Leinster.
Bath outscored their opponents by three tries to two at The Rec on Saturday, with loosehead prop Beno Obano and Anthony Watson (two) crossing the line. But it was flanker Louw who was the star of the show, while Duane Vermeulen also excelled for Toulon at No 8.
Bath now have 13 log points after four matches, the same as Toulon, but are first in Pool 5 on points difference. The Scarlets, who claimed a 31-12 away win against Treviso, are third with 12.
In other notable results, Montpellier beat the Glasgow Warriors 36-26, with utility back Henry Immelman coming off the bench to score a try. The French club is now second in Pool 3 with 13 log points. Exeter (nine) are third after losing 22-17 at Leinster. The Irish province has 18 log points after four wins from four matches.
Racing’s 29-7 win against Castres takes them level on 11 log points with Munster, who take on the Leicester Tigers in a Pool 4 clash on Sunday.
Ulster thrashed Harlequins 52-24 on Friday night to move within two log points of La Rochelle, who play Wasps on Sunday.
