Bath Rugby achieved a significant milestone in their season by winning the European Challenge Cup, overpowering Lyon with a decisive 37-12 victory at the Principality Stadium. The triumph marks their second major win, adding to their earlier Premiership Cup success.

Despite a controversial first half, Bath showed resilience, particularly during a period when they were reduced to 13 players. Scrumhalf Ben Spencer, who was instrumental in seizing the match, was named man of the match after scoring a crucial try. Spencer emphasized the team's focus on discipline and playing the game, not the occasion.

This victory ends a long drought since their last major title in 2008, signaling Bath's return as a formidable force in English rugby. With strong performances across the board, including composed contributions from Finn Russell, Bath celebrated managing their game plan to fruition.
