Bath Rugby won the Premiership title on Saturday for the first time in almost 30 years, as the men in blue, black and white defeated their old rivals Leicester Tigers 23-21 at Twickenham.

Johan van Graan’s men end the season with silverware in three competitions, having also emerged victorious in the Challenge Cup and the Premiership Rugby Cup.

The Bath players returned to their hotel yesterday evening to continue their celebrations, as they retired on what was the most successful Bath season of the professional era.

Following the final whistle, the closeness between Bath players and fans was on clear display, as fans and players alike danced together in jubilation over this momentous victory.

The standout video from the aftermath had to be from just outside Twickenham, as the Bath squad danced with the cup, surrounded by eager fans, while head coach Johan van Graan pounded the coach horn in celebration.
