From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1995-1996 Pilkington Cup was the twenty-fifth edition of England's premier rugby union club competition. Bath won the competition defeating Leicester in the final. The attendance of 75,000 was a world record for a rugby union match. The final ended in controversy after the referee Steve Lander awarded a penalty try in the last minute of the match which sealed victory for Bath.[1] The event was sponsored by Pilkington and the final was held at Twickenham Stadium .[2]
