Bath recover from 24-0 down to stun Gloucester
Gloucester surrendered a 24-point lead as Bath fought back to win 26-24 in the Premiership Rugby Cup.
David Humphreys’ side took control with tries from Louis Rees-Zammit, Jaco Kriel, Charlie Chapman and Jake Morris in the opening 20 minutes.
But Bath rallied as Ross Batty and Will Stuart crossed before half-time and they completed the turnaround when Freddie Burns touched down and then converted Jack Walker’s try.
