Bath out to spoil Leicester leaving party in Premiership final – Ben Spencer
Bath target historic treble in Premiership final showdown
- Bath captain Ben Spencer says his squad will show no sentiment when they face Leicester in the Gallagher Premiership final, despite it being the last game for England stalwarts Dan Cole and Ben Youngs.
- Leicester is undergoing significant changes with head coach Michael Cheika departing, along with players like Julian Montoya and Handre Pollard.
- Spencer acknowledges Cole and Youngs as legends but insists Bath is determined to spoil their party and win their first Premiership title since 1996.
- Bath finished the regular season 11 points ahead of Leicester and have already won the Premiership Rugby Cup and the European Challenge Cup this season.
- Having lost last season’s Premiership final, Spencer believes Bath is now better prepared and confident under Johann van Graan to win big games, focusing on their own strengths against Leicester’s scrum and maul tactics.
