Bath: Now Vs Then

With Bath chasing a historic double and a Champions Cup semi-final looming in Bordeaux, Tins is joined by two proper club legends, and his former flatmates: Matt Perry and Lee Mears.

Bath Now: The Finn Russell era, a world-class academy at Farleigh House, 9,000 fans watching Bath University games, and a squad that has traded "hope" for "belief."

Bath Then: From Matt Perry earning £1.80 an hour in a tea room to the training-ground fights at Lambridge that led Bath to '98 European Glory.

Plus Lions Tales and why Paul O'Connell begged the 2009 squad to "sacrifice professionalism" to become friends.
