The 2024/25 Gallagher Premiership final is upon us, with Bath Rugby set to face Leicester Tigers this Saturday, June 14th, at the Allianz Stadium, Twickenham. Following 18 exhilarating rounds of regular-season rugby and two intense semi-finals, these two storied clubs will compete for the ultimate prize: the English Premiership title.
Between them, Bath Rugby and Leicester Tigers have secured an impressive 17 league championships. Bath’s last Premiership victory was 29 years ago, but since the arrival of coach Johann van Graan, the club has been revitalized.
