Bath vs Sale live stream: How to watch rugby Premiership semi-final 2024 online, team news

If there's one turnaround that can stand up to Bath's rise from bottom of the table to 2nd place (on points difference) in the space of two years, it's Sale's rapid-fire transformation from biggest disappointments of the season to Premiership semi-finalists. Here's where to watch Bath vs Sale live streams online from anywhere. 

Bath team: Gallagher, Cokanasiga, Lawrence, Redpath, Muir, Russell, Spencer (capt); Obano, Dunn, du Toit, Roux, Ewels, Hill, Underhill, Barbeary.
Replacements: Annett, Schoeman, Stuart, Stooke, Bayliss, Schreuder, Bailey, Reid.

Sale team: Carpenter, Roebuck, James, R du Preez, O’Flaherty, Ford, Warr; Rodd, Taylor, Harper, Wiese, Andrews, B Curry (capt), Dugdale, JL du Preez.
Replacements: Creevy, McIntyre, John, Bamber, van Rhyn, Quirke, L James, T Curry.

Having topped the standings before Christmas, Sale's form fell off a cliff and they were languishing in 8th as recently as March. Five straight victories later, the Sharks are the Premiership's in-form team, and it's largely because of their final day victory over Saracens that Bath have home advantage today.

By some quirk of fate, it was Johann van Graan's men who inflicted Sale's last defeat, which came via a Finn ­Russell-orchestrated late show when the teams had been tied at 24 apiece. Last year's runners-up were on a miserable run at the time – it was their sixth straight loss – but they're in formidable shape now.

Gus Warr and George Ford have been at the heart of everything good, and their tactical duel with opposite numbers Russell and Ben Spencer will be where the game is won and lost. Northampton await in the final.
