Bath Defeats Saracens 68-10 in Premiership

Bath Rugby delivered a devastating blow to Saracens, inflicting a record 68-10 defeat in the Gallagher Premiership. The match saw Saracens reduced to 14 men after flanker Toby Knight was sent off for a high tackle just 14 minutes in, compounding their woes with injuries to teammates. Bath quickly capitalized, securing a bonus point before halftime with a dominant performance that included tries from Thomas du Toit, Cameron Redpath, and Will Muir. In the second half, Joe Cokanasiga, Ollie Lawrence, and Muir further punished Saracens, who managed only a late consolation try from Kapeli Pifeleti. This defeat marks the worst in Saracens' Premiership history, surpassing their previous low of 65-10 against Exeter in October 2023, while Bath now sits five points clear at the top of the league. Saracens' director Mark McCall emphasized the need for his team to learn from this 'ugly and horrible' experience as they regroup for the season ahead.
