Kevin Coughlan

Often touted as a likely development but now confirmed. Billionaire James Dyson has taken a 50% stake in the @BathRugby group alongside Bruce Craig. A supporter of the club for 45 years, his new capital will reduce existing debt and support development of the club’s new stadium.

Antoine Dupont qui repost une story de Ben Spencer avec écrit «  Je ne sais pas si je vais récupérer ça... » Probablement le maillot échanger entre les 2 demis de mêlée après le Crunch. Le fils de Ben Spencer a l’air de bien apprécier le maillot 😂

Prendergast's departure confirmed by Munster, who say they are disappointed by his decision to leave but wish him well

Likely that Finn Russell is having a say in this most important of @BathRugby summer signings, after being coached by Prendergast at @racing92.

A few familiar faces from the @BathRugby family taking the field tonight at @Harlequins. All in aid of the Moody Family Trust. #Legends #ENGvIRE

Anyone else wonder why the camera angle that ref Brousset repeatedly asked for but was denied in the first half to rule on a possible knock-on by try-scorer Rudolph for @BlueBulls was immediately available to rule out the Lane's effort for @BristolBears later in the game?

Just a remarkable effort by @BristolBears to hold out and win 61-49. @BlueBullsRugby looked just as knackered as their opponents come the end.

That's he maddest half of European rugby I've ever seen. H-T: @BlueBullsRugby 28 @BristolBears 47. But the visitors may yet be undone by altitude.

Six tries in the first 25 minutes by @BristolBears. 14-42 the scoreline. Incredible!

@BristolBears ripping the @BlueBullsRugby apart. Three tries inside the first 8 mins. 21-nil up at Loftus!

@radio_sheri @BathRugby Agreed on that! He's really discovered his mojo again - making an impact in open spaces too.

Alfie Barbeary has had an absolute stormer tonight as good as I can recall and for me the stand out @BathRugby performer in Castre

@radio_sheri Actually Sheri, I thought his decisions were refreshingly quicker and more decisive - as Spreadbury demands of his officials. Fewer protracted to-and-fros with TMO. Less 'coaching' of players. Obano yellow was routine sanction because of risk to lower limb (as replay confirmed).

The Irish referee is so whistle happy he is in danger of ruining the contest in Castre

Enjoy your retirement @stephenjones9, if indeed it is. I've much valued your wit and wise counsel over the last 40 years or so. Fond memories of @BathRugby v Newport, Cardiff and the the Pontys in the 'good old days' when @SBarnesRugby was just a name on the teamsheet😉.

@willgkelleher @TimesSport @LaurieDalrymple @AlexMLowe A tip for club media staff: cliches such as 'working tirelessly' do not make club statements sound more convincing. Best avoided.

A winter of discontent for Harlequins & now a short statement committing to change. Tomorrow @TimesSport on The Ruck we’ll put more meat on the bone with @LaurieDalrymple, the CEO, in a special in depth pod. Fans, send your Qs to TheRuck@TheTimes.co.uk, or below👇🏼 @AlexMLowe

@Hathers46allout @radio_sheri @BathRugby @premrugby @charlieewels I'm not sure he knows himself.

@radio_sheri @KevinFCoughlan @BathRugby @premrugby @charlieewels A number of weeks One, two, 30?

@BathRugby top of the @premrugby Christmas tree again. But 2nd row resources are being stretched by the continued absence of Charlie Ewels (leg infection) and now Ewan Richards (ankle). Ewels out "for a number of weeks", says Johann van Graan. Richards' return in "a few weeks".

@SimonCarGuy Milestone moment for my 2010 E350cgi estate last week. Highly specced but not worth much now. Yet mechanically, the car is very sound. The interior too. Merc specialist in my neck of the woods is a top man.

Early Xmas present for Mrs L Always liked these, aging beautifully to my eyes and they are crazy cheap now. This one is a 350 Sport with giant spec, 2 owners from new and full history. Off to Autoclass for a few minor bits I want sorted.

And a great night in Glasgow. 28-21.

Saturday of course.

Of course, the best match of the Champions Cup weekend has to be the 8pm Sunday night kick-off! On a knife edge. #GLAvTOU
