Cokanasiga scored two tries in the match, while Will Muir delivered an impressive hat-trick, showcasing Bath’s offensive strength.

This advantage allowed Bath to seize control, and they did not hold back, establishing a record Premiership victory against their rivals.
Other Bath players who contributed to the scoreline included Thomas du Toit, Cameron Redpath, Sam Underhill, and Ollie Lawrence, while Saracens managed to score only one try through Kapeli Pifeleti. This victory marked Bath’s sixth consecutive win in the Premiership, moving them ten points ahead of Saracens, who currently sit fourth, and five points clear of second-placed Bristol.
Eroni Mawi, representing the Flying Fijians, came off the bench for Saracens during the match but faced a challenging outing in the significant defeat.
