Bath Edges Northampton in Thrilling Champions Cup Match

In a nail-biting Investec Champions Cup match, Bath defeated Northampton 43-41, securing their spot in the semi-finals. The intense 11-try encounter at the Recreation Ground saw Bath overcome a strong Northampton side, who were denied a semi-final spot for the third consecutive season. The winning score came from a late Ted Hill try, converted by Finn Russell, after Northampton's Henry Pollock was given a yellow card. The match showcased exceptional attacking rugby, with Northampton scoring five first-half tries, but Bath's relentless fightback ultimately led to their victory. Bath will now face either Bordeaux-Begles or Toulouse in the semi-finals.
