Sh*t happens.
Bath fullback Freddie Burns has posted a classy statement on Twitter following his horror moment in yesterday’s Champions Cup defeat to Toulouse at the Rec.
The Englishman scuppered a certain try in the final moments of the game with Bath trailing by two points after he celebrated a little too early following an excellent break for the line.
His error proved to be costly with Bath losing the game, but Burns has owned up to his mistake like a true professional, apologising to his teammates and Bath’s fans.
Love this sport for the highs and the lows. Today was an ultimate low and a mistake I’ll learn from. I’ll continue to give my best as I always do. Lastly just apologies to the boys and the supporters for the mistake. I’ll bounce back… thanks for the support

Feeling for my boy @FreddieBurns right now. Not many people in the world will understand the feeling of jubilation you get when you make a break and are clean through to score the winner and even fewer will understand the feeling of pain he’s got right now. Chin up fella big love

"You could see that it hurt him…"
"This is probably the time we need to rally around him."
