Upcoming Matches
Leicester vs Bath

Bath is off to a strong start this season, boasting three wins and a dazzling total of 113 points, including 16 tries. Leicester managed a comeback victory against Harlequins, winning 29-19 after trailing 19-0. However, Leicester needs to tighten its defense, having conceded five tries twice this season, as they prepare to take on Bath’s formidable lineup.
Fly-half Finn Russell is expected to play a crucial role in Bath’s strategy. He showcased his skills effectively in the last match against Gloucester. Keep an eye on Santi Carreras, making his first start for Bath. Carreras scored seven tries last season and could pose a significant threat at full-back.
Saracens vs Sale

Saracens will be looking for redemption after a loss to Harlequins. Their upcoming match against Sale promises to be challenging. Sale has proven to be a tough defensive unit, with the least points conceded this season at 43 and only six tries allowed. Both teams will likely have to rely on their physical strength to dominate the match.
