Bath Rugby held their nerve to beat Sale Sharks 31-22 in the play-off semi-final at the Recreation Ground on Saturday to book their place in the final at Twickenham next weekend against Northampton Saints.

Replacement Niall Annett’s 73rd-minute try sealed a dramatic victory to send Bath to their first final for nine years.

The Somerset club were rock bottom of the league just two years ago but will now bid to lift their first Premiership title since 1996.

They will face table-topping Saints, who beat last season's champions Saracens 22-20 on Friday.
