Van Graan: Bath miss Twickenham return after Exeter semi‑final loss

Bath Rugby head coach Johann van Graan described the semi‑final defeat to Exeter as a lost opportunity, saying the team’s hopes of returning to Twickenham are over. Bath had built momentum throughout the season and entered the semi‑final as a strong contender.

However, key injuries and defensive lapses allowed Exeter to dominate the match. Van Graan emphasized that the young squad will regroup and aim for a better campaign next year.
