English Premiership – Week 21 Preview

It’s a quiet weekend in the English Premiership as far as the Americas are concerned. Only four players will suit up for the penultimate round of the regular season.

Two of them will be in action on Friday as AJ MacGinty runs out for Sale against Bristol in a match with implications for a top-six finish. Facundo Gigena is on the bench for Leicester in their vital home match against Harlequins. Tigers are looking to survive a relegation battle.

Saturday will see Marcelo Bosch wearing the No13 shirt for Saracens against Exeter as the top two teams go head-to-head at Sandy Park. Named as reserve hooker for Newcastle against Gloucester is Santiago Socino, who remains an outside bet for World Cup consideration. Falcons must win to stay alive.
