Bath heroes roll back the years to rule again
The Rugby Paper
|June 15, 2025
BATH boss Johann van Graan warned the Premiership there is more where that came from after his side finally ended their title drought.
Van Graan's side got home 23-21 in a Twickenham epic against Leicester, who threw every punch they had at them.
But Tigers boss Michael Cheika was fuming with referee Karl Dickson and will be reporting him to the RFU's head of match officials, Paul Hul,l this week.
Van Graan's side made it a treble, with the Premiership Cup and Challenge Cup already won this season, and the South African claimed they had achieved a near-miracle since he arrived in 2022 with the team bottom of the league.
He said: "I am going to go away and think what is next but the best is yet to come. I will set the vision, and we will align as a group, champion teams are teams that win multiple times and once you taste something, you want it again.
"We started this in July 2022, a club with no hope, we started to work on our hope, and we moved into belief. In three years, we have done the unthinkable really.
