Goodbye, and Good Luck - this year's men's squad departure
As happens every summer, the excitement of having seen the emergence of exciting young stars of the future and the anticipation of incoming senior players from other clubs – of whom we have a particularly interesting crop this year as the club looks to further progress its rebuilding process - are tempered by the sadness at departures from the club as players leave for pastures new, whether it’s to try their luck abroad, seek a new challenge within the Prem (hate that name…) after a long stint in the black and red, or simply to move in the hope of more First XV game time at clubs where competition for each position is less fierce than within the large playing group we’re blessed with. Obviously, we’ll be paying separate and detailed tribute to the club’s most significant departure from front-line rugby, that of Mark McCall. Although not quite as seismic as the summer of 2024 felt, when we lost the likes of Owen Farrell, all three Vunipolas, Sean Maitland, Alex Lewington and Tom Woolstencroft, this year nevertheless sees us saying farewell to some real fan favourites including the Prem’s biggest bully.

Opportunities and Dreams
Well, after a fairly lengthy sabbatical, I thought it best to get ' back in the saddle! ' August 1st, maths was never my best school subject, 50 days until the opening Eliot Champ Rugby game at promoted National One Champions, Rotherham Titans. Should be an interesting game. They look to be recruiting quite strongly, including a couple of players we, Cov, have crossed swords with fairly recently, Russ Bennett from nearby Doncaster Knights and Nuneaton born lock, Alfie Bell, latterly from the Pirates. The opening game is on September 19th, a CRSC coach will be running, details nearer the time.

Bath Rugby Academy & University of Bath Talent Watch (2026)
I believe that the way Bath’s senior players, the Bath Academy and Bath University are currently integrated is a bit unique. Bath's pathway is arguably the strongest in England right now.There is of course an equivalent article covering the outstanding backs that emerged in the 2025/6 season: first this article will look at the forwards.The success of the season that led to the double is unusual in that the stand out players that attracted the headlines could not have plied their trade without contributions from a whole range of other players, the squad involved nearly 50 different players.This means that crediting emerging talent is difficult. However, there are some that deserve a mention even if they were not regulars.
