Montpellier secured an impressive 32-14 victory over Bath in their opening Investec Champions Cup Pool Four match. The French side scored 22 points without reply in the second half at The Rec.
Bath, who had scored at least 33 points in each of their first three Prem games this season, failed to reach similar attacking heights. They had two tries disallowed and a missed opportunity by Joe Cokanasiga proved costly.
Donovan Taofifenua scored two second-half tries for Montpellier, while Alex Becognee also crossed the tryline. Stuart Hogg scored Montpellier's first points of the match.
Ollie Lawrence and Arthur Green scored tries for Bath, with Finn Russell converting both. Adam Hastings contributed a penalty and three conversions for Montpellier.
