‘Hungry for more success'
Bath Chronicle
|May 29, 2025
Tom Dunn and captain Ben Spencer have both reiterated Bath's hunger to kick on and win more trophies having moved one step closer towards an historic trophy treble with Friday night's win in Cardiff.
-
Dunn and company added the EPCR Challenge Cup to a cabinet that already contained the Premiership Rugby Cup by beating Lyon 37-12 last weekend. Having guaranteed themselves a home Premiership play-off in April - possibly against West Country rivals Bristol Bears at the Recreation Ground on June 6 Bath are two wins away from league title glory.
It all represents an astonishing transformation from just under three years ago when head of rugby Johann van Graan arrived at the club from Munster.
Bath propped up the Premiership in 2022, losing 18 league games and finishing 60 points behind regular-season table-toppers Leicester.
Dunn, who joined the club 10 years earlier, has been through thick and thin and made more Premiership appearances for Bath than any other player.
