In a pulsating Investec Champions Cup match, Bath edged out Northampton 43-41, securing their spot in the semi-finals after a nail-biting encounter at the Recreation Ground. The winning score came courtesy of a late Ted Hill try, converted by Finn Russell, following a yellow card for Northampton's Henry Pollock. The match showcased attacking rugby at its finest, with both teams combining for 11 tries. Northampton dominated the first half, with five tries from Pollock, Fraser Dingwall, Tom Lockett, Josh Kemeny, and Ollie Sleightholme, all converted by Fin Smith.
