"Bath's heavyweight bench came to the rescue, with Thomas du Toit to the fore, as they rallied to win. Saracens pushed Bath all the way and a late try from Noah Caluori set up a nervy finish."
"In the first half Bath's basics were off. Passes went to ground and the lineout went astray. Even Finn Russell fumbled. At the same time Saracens were impressively resolute."
"Bath's squad is so deep they wallow in the luxury of being able to put out two different top-end sides. Last Sunday they won at Sale with what was in effect the B team."
"They took the lead in the 14th minute through their zippy scrum-half, Charlie Bracken, who fooled Bath's blind-side cover with a dummy and had the pace to race over."
Bath overcame a 10-0 halftime deficit to defeat Saracens 31-22, with Henry Arundell scoring two crucial tries. Saracens initially led with a try from Charlie Bracken, showcasing strong defense and a powerful scrum. Bath's depth in squad allowed them to field a strong team, recovering from previous performances. A late try from Noah Caluori made the finish tense, but Arundell's second try sealed the win, ensuring a quarter-final match against Northampton next weekend.
