Northampton Saints won their first Premiership title since 2014 with a dramatic victory vs 14-player Bath at Twickenham
Northampton Saints sealed their first Premiership title for a decade, beating Bath 25-21 in the 2024 final at Twickenham after Beno Obano’s costly first-half red card.
Bath loosehead prop Obano was dismissed in the 22nd minute for a wild high tackle on Northampton back-row Juarno Augustus with the score at 3-3, leaving the West Country side too tall an order on the day – but only just.
Northampton wings Tommy Freeman and Ollie Sleightholme scored tries, with fly-half Fin Smith adding a conversion and drop-goal for a 15-3 lead, but Bath hit back with Thomas du Toit and Will Muir scores.
Finn Russell then kicked Bath into an improbable lead, which they held until six minutes to go when Saints scrum-half Alex Mitchell dramatically scored the winner after a brilliant George Hendy run.
