February and March Review

February and March were relatively quiet months as far as Bath were concerned. With still numerous players out injured and others away on international duty Bath were left scraping the barrel to put out a match day 23. First match was a dead rubber in the Anglo-Welsh away to the Newcastle Falcons, a well fought…

January Review

The opening month of 2017 for Bath Rugby consisted of one Aviva Premiership match, two European Challenge Cup matches and one Anglo-Welsh Cup match. The saying start as you mean to go on is hopefully not the case for Bath this year. A visit up to Newcastle is never an easy one especially on the…

December Review

December was going to be Bath’s toughest month of the season so far by a long way. Three Aviva Premiership fixtures against the top three of the 2015/16 season, meant that by the end of the year Bath would know where they stand with the big teams. Sandwiched between these fixtures was a European double…

November Review

November wasn’t the best of months for Bath Rugby. No less than 8 players were absent throughout the month on international duties. Some players returned from injuries, with others replacing them in the physio room. Worst of all only a single win in the entire month out of the four games. However, as is always…

October Review

The perfect month for Bath Rugby, or so the results will say. 5 wins from 5 matches but the performances weren’t all that convincing. But a win is a win and I doubt the Bath of last season would have walked away with the 100% record for this month. Three fixtures in the league saw…

September Review

One month into the 2016/17 Aviva Premiership season and Bath have got off to a flying start. Three wins from four games and sitting third in the current table has left the Bath faithful feeling optimistic about the remainder of the season. The opening weekend saw Bath travel up to Franklins Garden to take on…

Players In – 2016/17

With only one more sleep until the 2016/17 Aviva Premiership season starts, it’s time to take a deeper look into the new players who will be joining the blue, black and white of Bath Rugby. Luke Charteris from Racing 92 – Second Row November last year saw Bath announce their first signing for the 2016/17…

Blackadder’s Bath

With the new season now under a month away the pieces are beginning to come together for a Bath team who ended last season with more questions being asked than answered. A week ago it was confirmed that Todd Blackadder would be the new Director of Rugby at Bath and would be bringing with him…

2016/17 Season Preview

A well rested summer is much needed for the boys in blue, black and white as they have a big season on the horizon as they look to gain redemption for last season. Falling from Aviva Premiership runners-up to ninth in the table with a team of Bath’s stature and players of such high calibre…

2015/16 Season Review

Bath had one of their best seasons since rugby became professional last year and were looking to build upon their impressive performance with a stellar season to celebrate 150 years as a club. This did not happen. Instead Bath are fighting for nothing with 2 games still to go. 9th in the Aviva Premiership and…

5 matches that cost Bath a Champions Cup spot

December 5th 2015 – Bath Rugby 11 Northampton Saints 13 Northampton have been Bath’s bogey team over the past few season and the Saints had been the only team to have beaten Bath at the Rec all of last season. Neither team was in much form going into the game. Both had 2 wins from…

End of an Era

This season saw club captain Stuart Hooper having to call time on his 16-year career due to a recurring back injury. The 34-year-old managed to achieve 232 Premiership appearance for Saracens, Leeds and Bath over the 16 years, 192 of which were for the men in blue, black and white. These 232 appearances make him…
