Bath edge out Northampton in epic Champions Cup clash

Northampton were denied an Investec Champions Cup semi-final spot for the third successive season after Bath won an all-time tournament classic 43-41 following a late yellow card for Saints' England star Henry Pollock.

Bath triumphed following a mesmeric 11-try encounter at the Recreation Ground, and they will now face holders Bordeaux-Begles or six-time champions Toulouse.
