Despite missing key backline players through injury—including internationals Cam Redpath, Max Ojomoh, Joe Cokanasiga, and Lions prop Will Stuart—the English champions matched the fiery French side for intensity and skill. Winger Will Muir was Bath’s standout performer, scoring two tries including a spectacular finish, while Louie Hennessey impressed with a crucial try in a centre role, and Tom Carr-Smith added a late score.
