Watch Bath Rugby v Leicester Tigers away from home

As a result, you can log on to your streaming platform of choice as if you were back at home. A good VPN also brings the extra benefit of improving your internet security when you’re online.

Premiership final preview
So it comes to this. After ninety-two matches, the Gallagher Premiership now boils down to this final encounter between historic rivals Bath Rugby and Leicester Tigers. Whoever’s on top at the final whistle will be crowned Premiership champions.
Bath are strong favourites to claim the title for the first time since 1996. They’ve been the best team in England by a distance, topping the league table by 11 points (Leicester were second), and have already added the Premiership Cup and the European Challenge Cup to their trophy cabinet this season.
Their victory over Bristol Bears in last weekend’s semi-final/local derby showed why they’ve been so dominant this season. Although they went into the interval 13-6 down, their power upfront, talented backs and strength in depth from the bench saw them run in four second-half tries to secure their place in the final. But, after a red card arguably cost Bath victory against Northampton Saints in last year’s final, they’ll be well aware that anything can happen at Twickenham.
Leicester Tigers’ semi-final was a much tighter affair, with Sale Sharks still in contention up to the final whistle. Michael Cheika’s attritional side know how to make life difficult for an opposition, and also have backs – such as World Cup-winning Springbok fly-half Handré Pollard and wing Adam Radwan (who scored two tries last weekend) – who can prove decisive. Tigers also have much more recent memories of winning the Premiership, having lifted the title under Steve Borthwick in 2022.
Whoever wins, this should be a match to remember.
