Sam Underhill's season is over, banned for four weeks by an independent disciplinary panel after being cited for his high tackle which earned a yellow card against Lyon. The Bath Rugby flanker accepted he had been guilty of foul play but contested the red card citing.

๐๐ก๐๐ง๐ค ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ก, ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ฒ๐๐ซ #๐๐๐๐ ๐ After nearly 10 years in the professional rugby, Ruaridh McConnochie will retire at the end of the season. From 7s to 15s and Olympic honours, what a journey. All the best for whatโs next! ๐

Arthur Green again looked a very fine prospect at No 8 for today. And not the only one as the Bath Rugby tyros tested themselves against serious PREM Rugby opposition and claimed a try bonus point.

Latest appointments from the Bath Rugby 'boot room', keeping it in the family, with the accent on developing players as people too. It's van Graan's way.

Just done a spot on BBC Sport Leicester with fellow rugby historian and stats guru Stuart Farmer looking ahead to the PREM Rugby final. The tension is building for supporters of Bath Rugby and Leicester Tigers. Just like the old days!

There are some Bath Rugby games, just some, where the place to be is with the OFFICIAL BRSC 'faithful' rather than in the press seats. Seeing Finn Russell coolly floating that pass to Max Ojomoh just in front of us was all the more memorable for being shared with my son, Tim.

I've finally watched the game through again. Of all the Bath Rugby finals stretching back to '84, I honestly can't remember any as emotionally charged as this one, even Bordeaux in 1998.

A pretty faultless first half for Finn Russell - in attack and defence - in the British & Irish Lions opening tour game. Still 100 per cent off the tee since Bath Rugby defeat of Leicester Tigers on 17 May.

An EPCRugby tie between Bath Rugby v Munster Rugby had that strange inevitability after Johann van Graan's new charges lifted the PREM Rugby title. The draw was also pretty kind to Bath, depending on how the home and away matches fall.



Yes, this is significant - the Environment Agency withdrawing its objection to a new stadium for Bath Rugby on the Rec, subject to the inclusion of flood response measures and conditions in the plans. The last statutory consultation hurdle.

This is a good read if rather sobering. Knuckles is a great rugby bloke, knowledgeable and approachable, who did his best for Bath Rugby but at a time when the club lacked vision and ambition.

On the 2001 British & Irish Lions tour Andrew Baldock and I made a special pilgrimage to the Melbourne Cricket Ground (not a rugby venue in those days) and persuaded the ground staff to let us walk out into the middle. Spirits of Bradman, Warne and many others.
