  • Lawrence Dallaglio believes high-flying Bath can mount a serious bid to win the Investec Champions Cup and pull English rugby back to the top of the European rugby. Europe's premier club competition has not featured an English finalist since Exeter Chiefs lifted the trophy in 2020, with French giants Toulouse and Stade Rochelais winning twice each.

The article from the News & Star discusses former England rugby captain Lawrence Dallaglio's endorsement of Bath Rugby's potential in the Investec Champions Cup. Dallaglio, who has a history with Bath, believes that under the leadership of Johann van Graan, Bath has the capability to go far in the competition. He highlights the team's recent performance, including a significant win against Harlequins, and praises the strategic signings and the development of young talent within the squad. Bath's current form, with four consecutive Premiership wins, has positioned them well for a strong showing in the Champions Cup, especially with their upcoming match against Ulster. Dallaglio also notes the importance of the competition for Bath, given their historical success in European rugby, and expresses optimism about their prospects, emphasizing the blend of experience and youth in the team.
