Quins looked in control early on, with Argentine debutant Rodrigo Isgro lighting up The Stoop with two first-half tries, giving the home side a comfortable seven-point cushion at the break.

But Bath, despite two yellow cards, refused to fold. Their dogged defence kept them in the fight before a late penalty handed them the perfect platform in Quins’ 22. Enter Van Wyk, who powered over in the corner, sealing the deal.

Harlequins’ heartbreak didn’t end with the result. A standout moment came when Bath flanker Sam Underhill launched himself into Marcus Smith with a monster tackle, leaving fans in awe.

One even tweeted: “I am surprised Marcus Smith doesn’t have broken ribs. Sam Underhill is an animal.”

Another fan added: “Sam Underhill back to his best. Marcus Smith’s ribs RIP.”

With the loss, Harlequins tumble to seventh in the Premiership, leaving plenty of questions for the London club to answer.

From high-profile marriages to lucrative endorsements and television appearances, these rugby stars have built financial empires.

Here’s a look at three couples who have combined their sporting legacies with fame and fortune, amassing millions along the way.

Mike Tindall is known not just for his rugby prowess but for his royal connections. As the husband of Zara Phillips, the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, Tindall has become a prominent figure in British media.

Nicknamed “The Fridge” due to his imposing physique, Tindall was a stalwart on the rugby field, famously breaking his nose at least eight times over the course of his career. Since retiring from the sport, he’s made a name for himself in the entertainment world, appearing on popular reality shows such as .

Despite his success in sports and entertainment, Tindall’s wealth has been largely bolstered by his royal ties, with his net worth estimated at £20 million, according to British media.

Jonny Wilkinson is a legendary figure in English rugby, with a career spanning 12 seasons at Newcastle Falcons before his move to French club Toulon in 2009. Wilkinson cemented his place in history by leading England to victory in the 2003 Rugby World Cup, becoming a national hero in the process.

In his personal life, Wilkinson has kept a lower profile. He married his long-time girlfriend, Shelley Jenkins, in a private ceremony on the French Riviera in October 2013. The couple now has a son, reportedly named James, and maintain a relatively private family life. Wilkinson's net worth stands at £22 million, making him one of rugby's wealthiest figures.

Sonny Bill Williams is a sporting icon from New Zealand, famed not only for his rugby achievements but also for his ventures into boxing. Known for his versatility, Williams has excelled in both rugby union and rugby league, playing as a centre and second-rower, respectively. Additionally, his brief yet successful stint in professional boxing saw him win nine out of 10 heavyweight bouts.

In 2013, Williams married Alana Raffie after a whirlwind four-week romance, following Islamic traditions despite admitting that they were not in love at the time. Their union has since become one of the most talked-about in sports. With a combination of earnings from rugby, boxing, and endorsements, the couple's net worth is reported to be around £20 million.
