Gloucester-Hartpury vs Harlequins

Kickoff: 12pm, Saturday 14th February

Venue: Kingsholm

Watch on: TNT Sports

Key to the game: Can Harlequins gain an edge in the battle of the packs? Gloucester-Hartpury are missing some key forwards for this game and Harlequins have a pack that is coming into form. Mikaele-Tu'u is back alongside Jade Konkel with a strong back row that can compete with any in the league. The biggest obstacle that teams face when playing the reigning champions is matching their physicality; Harlequins have a chance to do that on saturday.

Prediction: Harlequins win

Kickoff: 12pm, Saturday 14th February

Venue: Trailfinders Sports Ground

Watch on: Youtube

Key to the game: How will Holly Aitchison perform at fullback? Sale have gone for a more creative group of backs with Lizzie Duffy starting at fly-half and Holly Aitchison being the second playmaker from fullback. If it works, Sale will have a clear point of difference against a team that seems to have the edge in the pack.

Prediction: Trailfinders Win

Exeter Chiefs vs Loughborough Lightning

Kickoff: 1pm, Sunday 15th February

Venue: Sandy Park

Watch on: Youtube

Key to the game: Can Westcombe-Evans and Mataitoga take over? Claudia Moloney-MacDonald is missing on the wing for the Chiefs which Sinclair and Granzotto to deal with the dangerous Lightning duo. Both of Lightning's wingers have the ability to take over games but are yet to truly do so this season. If they can do that in this game, Loughborough could put themselves right back into the playoff race.

Prediction: Loughborough Lightning win

Saracens vs Bristol Bears

Kickoff: 1:30pm, 15th February

Venue: StoneX Stadium

Watch on: TNT Sports

Key to the game: Can Bristol cope with the Saracens pack? There are too many internationals to name in the Saracens 23-player squad. The forwards, in particular, make a group that can rival Gloucester-Hartpury's. Unless Bristol can gain some parity in that facet of the game, it could be a long day for the Bears.

Prediction: Saracens win
