Despite significant rotation to rest key players ahead of their upcoming Champions Cup semi-final, Bath’s squad demonstrated remarkable quality and determination at Franklin’s Gardens. Van Graan emphasized that every player donning Bath’s jersey is capable of delivering results. The performance of all 23 players on the field on Saturday underscored this belief, as Bath nearly secured a draw with the league leaders in a match packed with excitement and high drama.
