Summary
It's the big one! Saturday sees the finale of the domestic season as Bath and Leicester go head-to-head at Twickenham for the Premiership title. Will Bath lift the trophy for the first time since 1996? Or will Leicester win a record-extending 12 title and send Michael Cheika and their club legends off into the sunset? Is Cheika using the emotion of Saturday to motivate his players? We hear from the Aussie and from Bath legend Tom Dunn, who explains how the club has risen again to the top of the English game under Johann van Graan. Plus, we look ahead to the URC final with Tadhg Furlong and Hugo Keenan both missing the final the Leinster.
