Summary
Bath clinched a gritty 24-22 win over Leicester Tigers to secure second place and host Exeter Chiefs in the semi-finals, while Leicester’s loss, coupled with Exeter’s win, drops them to fourth and sets up a tough clash with top-seeded Northampton Saints. The match was a tense, back-and-forth battle — Leicester led early with a try from Orlando Bailey, but Bath responded with tries from du Toit and Cokanasiga. Halftime was tied 17-17 after Jack van Poortvliet’s try and James O’Connor’s kicking. Du Toit completed his hat-trick after the break, and though George Pearson’s late try gave Leicester hope, Bailey’s missed conversion sealed Bath’s victory. High stakes, high drama — and an electrifying end to the season looms. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
