Overview

  • Bath will face Leicester at Twickenham in Saturday’s Gallagher Premiership final as they bid to capture their first top-flight title since 1996.
  • Johann van Graan’s squad finished the regular season 11 points clear at the top of the table after winning 14 matches.
  • The club has already lifted the Premiership Rugby Cup and European Challenge Cup this season, bringing them one victory away from a treble.
  • Finn Russell, who kicked 14 points in the 34-20 semi-final win over Bristol and has recovered from cramp, expects a vociferous Bath-support crowd at Twickenham.
  • Russell’s selection for a third successive British and Irish Lions tour this summer adds to his motivation ahead of the final.
