Aviva Premiership – Week 7 Preview

Week 7 of the Aviva Premiership takes place this weekend. Taking to the field will be England’s finest 12 clubs. Many of the teams have Americas players.

The first player from the Americas to play in Week 7 will be Joe Taufete’e. The Eagle has been named as the starting hooker for the Worcester Warriors who play away against the Harlequins.

Another American playing in London on Saturday will be Chris Wyles. The former USA captain is to start on the left wing for Saracens against London Irish. On the bench for Saracens will be Juan Figallo, a player desperately missed by Los Pumas.

In the far north the Newcastle Falcons host the Leicester Tigers. Starting in the mid-field will be the returning Juan Pablo Socino. Having served his suspension he is straight back into the starting line-up.
