Five talking points ahead of this weekends Premiership games

Can Bath return to winning ways?

Bath will want to forget about the month of February as they lost all three games and have dropped from second to fifth. They take on Sale on Friday night with the battle for a top four spot heating up. Bath will look to avoid a fourth successive defeat, while Sale can draw level on points with Bath and keep alive their chances of securing a semi-final place.

Can Saints make it four wins in a row?

Northampton Saints are flying at the moment and have a comfortable lead at the top of the table and look certain to secure a home semi-final. They take on a Gloucester side on Saturday, who look to be out of the running for a top four spot but have a decent record at Kingsholm this season. The Saints know that with seven games remaining they only need four more wins to secure a home semi-final and will look to pick up one of those four wins against the Cherry and Whites on Saturday.

Can Exeter remain in second for another week?


At this stage you would put your house on London Welsh suffering their 17th defeat of the season when they take on Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park. The Chiefs have had a magnificent season and sit in second spot at the moment. They will look to claim maximum points from the game as they look to secure a home semi-final. 

Who will be the winners at the Ricoh Arena?


In what is the game of the weekend in the Premiership, Wasps go up against Saracens in what will be a hard one to call. It’s been a terrific season for Wasps who qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions cup and sit in fourth at the moment and could go as high as second with a win on Sunday. As for Sarries they have not been as dominant as they were last season but are still in Europe and are third in the league with still all to play for.

Will the Tigers leave Kingston Park with a win?

After three successive wins, Leicester Tigers have put themselves back in the running for a semi-final place and face another difficult game when they take on Newcastle Falcons on Sunday. Kingston Park is a tough place to go and the Tigers will look to leave with a win and keep themselves in the hunt for a top four finish.
