Bath now face another huge two weeks as the Premiership season reaches its conclusion. They travel to Saracens on Saturday, 31 May for the final round of the competition, before a home semi-final at the Recreation Ground on Friday, 6 June for a place in the Twickenham final.

Tom Dunn has hailed captain Ben Spencer’s “contagious” effect on the club after Bath edged closer towards an historic trophy treble. Dunn and company added the EPCR Challenge Cup to a cabinet that already contained the Premiership Rugby Cup by beating Lyon 37-12 in Cardiff on Friday.

Bath completed the second stage of what they hope will be a dream treble when they proved too good in all areas for Lyon and romped to a 37-12 triumph in the European Challenge Cup final on Friday.
