Bath hauled themselves off the bottom of the Gallagher Premiership table with an unlikely comeback win against London Irish after being ten points adrift early in the second half.
Leaders Leicester clinched their 19th Premiership win of the season with a gritty 27-5 victory over Newcastle at Kingston Park. Tries from Nemani Nadolo and Guy Porter, bolstered by the boot of George Ford, secured the points for the table-topping Tigers.
Premiership Rugby, which is officially known as Gallagher Premiership Rugby for sponsorship purposes, has existed since 1987. Since then, 28 Premiership Rugby teams have participated in the tournament. Of these, London Welsh were the most recent new entrant in 2012-13. During this period, Bath, Gloucester, Leicester and Wasps have been the only Premiership Rugby teams to participate in every season, while Harlequins have only missed the 2005–06 season.
In Premiership Rugby fixtures, the stakes are high. Teams play each other home and away in a league system throughout the tournament. At the conclusion of the season, the team who finishes bottom of the Premiership Rugby table is relegated to the RFU Championship, while the top four teams enter the play-offs. Following the semi-finals, a final is held at Twickenham and the winner of this match is crowned as champions.

At the conclusion of the season, the top six teams in the Premiership Rugby standings qualify for the Heineken Cup. Teams in Premiership Rugby who do not qualify for the Heineken Cup play in the European Rugby Challenge Cup instead. This means that every Premiership Rugby team also represents England in European competition.
In the history of the competition, Leicester Tigers have been Premiership Rugby’s most successful team. They’ve won the competition 10 times since 1987-88, but they haven’t won it since 2012-13. Since Leicester last won a title, Saracens have won four and Exeter have won two.
