    FT: Bath 34-20 Bristol - Bath reach Premiership Final

    Bath celebrate victory over BristolRex Features

    Bath booked a place in their second consecutive Premiership final by coming from behind to win a pulsating play-off semi-final against neighbours Bristol.

    The Bears took a slender first-half lead through two AJ MacGinty penalties either side of an excellent try from James Dun, as two Finn Russell penalties were all Bath put on the board.

    But Bath moved in front early in the second half with tries from Ted Hill and Joe Cokanasiga turning the tide, before Will Muir and Max Ojomoh scores opened up a gap the Bears could never recover from, despite Benhard Janse van Rensburg pulling one back.

    Bath, beaten finalists against Northampton at Twickenham last year, will now face either Leicester or Sale as they bid to win their first league title since 1996.

    Johann van Graan's side, who finished 11 points clear at the top of the table, remain in the hunt for a treble, having already won the Premiership Rugby Cup and European Challenge Cup.

    But who will they face? We'll know in a couple of hours' time, so let's first get you up to speed...
