Bath Rugby secured a commanding 40-21 victory against ASM Clermont Auvergne at the Recreation Ground. The home side took an early lead with a try from de Glanville, followed by two conversions and a try from fly-half Finn Russell.

Belleau kept Clermont in touch with points from the boot, including a try of his own. Despite their efforts, Clermont struggled to contain Bath's relentless pressure, particularly in the second half. Bath's victory underscored their dominance and continued their strong campaign.
