Three Canadians to play in Premier 15s Final

Three Canadian internationals have been named in the Saracens lineup for Sunday’s Premier 15s Final against Harlequins. Sophie de Goede, Emma Taylor, and Alysha Corrigan reprise their roles from the victorious Semi Final win over Loughborough.

de Goede earned Player of the Match honors last weekend and will pack down alongside Taylor in the second row. Corrigan offers versatile backline cover from the bench.

It’s appropriately the top two sides from the regular season who will play in the Final, with Saracens the top seed and Quins just one win behind. Their most recent meeting in March finished in a 17-all draw which adds intrigue to Saturday’s match.

Kickoff is set for 4pm local time, 11am Eastern, 8am Pacific. The match will be played at the neutral venue of Kingsholm in Gloucester. A live stream will be available exclusively on the Premier 15s website, which requires free registration.
