Bath secures Champions Cup quarter-final spot with narrow win over Saracens

Bath's England quartet played a crucial role in turning the game around as they defeated Saracens 31-22 to book a spot in the Champions Cup quarter-finals. Trailing 10-0 at halftime, the hosts came back strong with tries from Henry Arundell, Joe Cokanasiga, Ben Spencer, and Ollie Lawrence, setting up a home match against Northampton in the next round. Despite a determined effort from Saracens, Bath's introduction of prop Thomas du Toit made a significant difference, with the South African tighthead being named man of the match. Saracens had started strong, with Charlie Bracken scoring in the 14th minute, but their inability to capitalize on their dominance allowed Bath to mount a comeback. Arundell's second try in the 80th minute sealed the win for Bath, who will now face Northampton in the quarter-finals. Other Champions Cup matches saw Glasgow overcome Bulls 25-21, Toulouse thrash Bristol 59-26, and Sale secure a quarter-final spot with a 26-17 win over Harlequins, thanks in part to George Ford's 16 points from his accurate goal-kicking.
