After a bumper weekend of European action, all eyes return to the Gallagher Premiership run-in, and round 15 looks set to be another extraordinary weekend!Â
The action gets underway on Saturday, as Saracens welcome Gloucester to the StoneX. Elsewhere on Saturday, the latest instalment of the East Midlands derby gets underway, as Northampton Saints face Leicester Tigers, and rounding off the day is another derby, as Exeter Chiefs take on Bath.
These games will set a high bar, but Sunday’s fixtures should live up to it. We first travel over to Ashton Gate as Bristol face Newcastle, and the final game of the weekend see’s Sale face Harlequins.
But who will referee these fixtures?
