Bath No 8 Taulupe Faletau is looking forward to reporting for duty with Wales on Monday and a likely return to international action against South Africa next weekend. After an agreed 55-minute comeback in a 16-9 win over Bristol, a relaxed Faletau declared himself fit for duty after 10 weeks out with a medial knee ligament strain.It was good to be out there. Id have liked it to be longer, he said. Im going back in on Monday, after seeing how the boys get on tomorrow (Saturday against Japan). Reflecting on his rehabilitation and carefully managed return, he said: Its been good from my point of view. The coaches at both Bath and Wales have been in contact with each other and that has kept things going smoothly.If Im required next week, Ill be happy to give it a crack.Bath coach Todd Blackadder was happy to see Faletau come through without mishap, saying: I thought he was really solid without being outstanding. He did the basics really well. It was good to see him get through those minutes, wasnt it?

He came through the game really well. Hes a world-class player and he just needed to get those minutes under his belt for his confidence. Hell be better for the run.Blackadder confirmed that fly-half Rhys Priestland had suffered an injury to his right knee, only weeks after recovering from a similar injury. I dont know what is wrong but it doesnt look great. It looks serious.On Baths performance, Blackadders feeling was one of relief: I dont think there was any lack of trying, just probably a lack of execution and discipline around line-outs, scrums and breakdown.Overall its a sense of relief rather than we really nailed it. A lack of combinations probably showed. When you are mixing your 12, 13 and 14 every week it takes its toll in tight games like this and you havent got the continuity. That will come.He added: Its disappointing that we played the game in the right part of the field in the second half but couldnt capitalise and take the game beyond seven points. Then at the end I thought it could go any way.Our defence has been outstanding all season. We just need to get some continuity in our attack and put sides under pressure. We lost the possession stakes. In the first 10 minutes we made 40 tackles and in the end that takes its toll.We couldnt buy a trick at the breakdown but our efficiency and breakdown wasnt there.Upgrade to Sky Sports now to watch England v Fiji and Ireland v New Zealand and get the first six months half price!

So far, so good: Gonzalez has allowed one run through 12 innings this season. His second start came Tuesday night, when he gave up only three singles over six innings to lead the Nationals to a 5-0 victory over the Miami Marlins. Mixing in extra changeups along with his low-90s mph fastball and top-notch curveball, Gonzalez allowed one baserunner to get as far as second, retired his last 10 batters, and improved to 2-0 with a 0.75 ERA. "If youve got a third pitch working," Lobaton said, "its going to be fun." One side benefit of going to the breaking ball? Gonzalezs fastball, which normally is at about 93 or 94 mph, is "going to look 95-96," Lobaton said. Gonzalez, who was born in Hialeah, Fla., has won his last four starts against the Marlins. His 3-0 mark against them in 2013 was part of the Nationals 14-5 edge in the series against Miami a year ago. "He was effectively wild tonight and he made the pitches when he had to," said Miamis Jeff Baker, who went 0 for 3. "With his stuff, even when hes out of the zone, its still going to be a battle. Thats the way it is every time you face him." Adam LaRoche had three hits and drove in a run off Henderson Alvarez (0-2). Anthony Rendon went 2 for 4 with three RBIs as Washington improved to 5-2. Miami entered an NL-best 5-2, a year after finishing with a league-high 100 losses. Led by Giancarlo Stanton, the Marlins were averaging a majors-best six runs a game, but they couldnt solve Gonzalez or four relievers. Stanton went 1 for 4 with a single; it was his first gamme in 2014 without an RBI.dddddddddddd Miami put runners on second and third with two outs in the seventh against Drew Storen, but pinch-hitter Greg Dobbs flied out. "These guys have some good pitchers but we got to find a way to score some runs," Miami manager Mike Redmond said. "We had a couple opportunities. We just didnt get a big hit. But Ive said that a lot over the last couple years, too." The Nationals took a 1-0 lead in the first. Jayson Werth hit a two-out double to left-centre and LaRoche followed with an RBI single. With two outs in the sixth, LaRoche was at first and Bryce Harper at third after both singled, and a pitch momentarily got away from catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia. LaRoche took off, and Saltalamacchias throw was dropped by second baseman Baker, who was charged with an error. LaRoche was safe, and Harper scored without a throw, making it 2-0. Rendon then tacked on a run-scoring single, before adding a two-run double off Mike Dunn in the eighth. Rendon, usually Washingtons second baseman, started at third because Ryan Zimmerman is dealing with a sore throwing shoulder. Rendon played third base in college at Rice and made one particularly nice play Tuesday, charging Reed Johnsons bunt with two men on in the seventh and throwing him out at first. "I guess," said Rendon, in his second year in the majors, "I still have a little bit left." NOTES: Zimmerman hasnt played in the field since Saturday but said he hopes to be back at his usual spot against Miami on Wednesday. ... Marlins RHP Jacob Turner strained his pitching shoulder during batting practice and will miss his scheduled start Wednesday.
