A club statement read: “Bath Rugby has now concluded disciplinary hearings with the players involved in the events at the Recreation Ground two weeks ago.
Players had reportedly been given to east pizzas and drink beer before the evening got out of hand.
"The club takes the appropriate conduct of all players and staff very seriously and does not condone the incident in any way.
"The matter has been dealt with in accordance with the club’s disciplinary process and appropriate sanctions have been given to the players involved.”
Club coach Todd Blackadder had said: "I know the guys themselves are really disappointed so we'll deal with it.
"We take these things really seriously and we've got a responsibility to our game, our supporters, our sponsors and our owner.
"It's not majorly serious but it's serious enough that we're going to deal with it internally.
"People are dying in Syria every day, this was just a social that got a little bit out of hand but we will sort it out and deal with it."
