Bath Thrash Edinburgh to Seal Top Seeding as Bulls Revive Hopes With Pau Comeback

Weekend results will determine Edinburgh's route to the knockout stage.

Overview

  • Bath ran in nine tries in a 63-10 bonus-point win that secured first place in Pool 2 and a top knockout seeding.
  • Edinburgh fielded a heavily altered lineup with 21 players unavailable, including Duhan van der Merwe, and handed Malelili Satala a senior debut.
  • The Scots now rely on outcomes in Munster v Castres and Gloucester v Toulon to learn if they reach the last 16 or drop to the Challenge Cup.
  • The Bulls snapped a seven-match losing run by edging Pau 26-24 after trailing 24-12, lifting themselves to fourth in their pool.
  • Progress for the Bulls depends on Scarlets’ visit to Northampton, with bonus-point margins set to shape final qualification and home-tie seeding.
