Triumphant end to a 29-year endeavor, as they finally secure the treble, three years on from hitting their lowest point.
Bath Rugby Achieves Triumphant Treble with Nail-Biting Premiership Victory
In a thrilling climax to the 2025 rugby season, Bath Rugby clinched a historical treble by edging past Leicester Tigers in the Premiership Rugby final at Twickenham. The victory culminated a 29-year wait for their seventh Premiership title, as they ended the match 23-21.
Johann van Graan's squad faced a nail-biting ending when Emeka Ilione's try narrowed the gap to just two points in the closing stages. However, Bath managed to hang on and wrap up a trophy-laden campaign on the pitch.
The triumph began with tries from Thomas du Toit and Max Ojomoh, setting the stage for Bath's victory. Finn Russell converted both tries and added an additional nine points from penalties.
An elated Guy Pepper, named man of the match, shared his sentiments with TNT Sports, "It's pretty surreal, and I'm not sure it's sunk in yet. The Prem meant so much to us this season, and the treble... it's a massive relief, really. I'm over the moon."
