Bath Secure Late Victory Over Exeter in Premiership Rugby Clash
Bath defeated Exeter 33-26 at the Recreation Ground after Arthur Green scored a last-minute try following a prolonged 38-phase attack. The home side made an explosive start, scoring four tries within the first 20 minutes to secure the season's fastest bonus point. Their early dominance was aided by Exeter being reduced to 14 men after Campbell Ridl received a 20-minute red card in the third minute for an aerial challenge on Henry Arundell.
Despite the setback, Exeter rallied strongly once restored to full strength, scoring four tries with Henry Slade converting two of them. Notable scorers for Exeter included Greg Fisilau and Immanuel Feyi-Waboso. However, Bath's resilience and strengthened lineup, featuring Santiago Carreras, Ted Hill, Guy Pepper, and Cameron Redpath, helped them cling on for a narrow win, following a defeat to Northampton the previous weekend.
The match saw considerable pressure on Bath early, but their persistence earned them victory in the final moments. Elsewhere in Premiership rugby, Newcastle edged Gloucester 25-19, earning praise from coach Alan Dickens, and Bristol narrowly defeated Sale 19-17, moving Pat Lam's team toward the top of the table.
