Celebrating Guy Pepper’s standout first season at Bath

OB Guy Pepper (Dale ’21) is featured in a new article reflecting on a standout first season at Bath and what is still to come in 2026.

The 22-year-old flanker helped Bath become English champions again for the first time in 29 years, before forcing his way into Steve Borthwick’s England side and touring Argentina and the US.

Guy says in the piece “It’s been an incredible time for me,” adding “I need to keep developing and maintain as high a playing level as possible each game.”

With Bath returning to Champions Cup action this week, he is relishing the challenge, saying “Europe is a very different ball game. We are in a very tasty group and I love tasty battles.”
