Leicester Tigers vs Trailfinders Women

Kickoff: 1:15pm, Saturday 21st February

Venue: Welford Road

Watch on: Youtube

Key to the game: Can Leicester compete with the Trailfinders pack? Leicester have struggled to make any impact this season and are currently without a win. The best way for them to fix that situation is to start getting more parity up front. A game against a rotated Trailfinders group could represent their best chance yet.

Sale Sharks vs Harlequins 

Kickoff: 3pm, Saturday 21st February

Venue: Morson Stadium

Watch on: Youtube

Key to the game: Can Harlequins overcome their injuries? The visitors come into this game without: Ellie Kildunne, Silvia Turani, Connie Powell, Sarah Bonar, Sarah Parry, Alex Callender, and Lucy Packer to name just some of this who are injured. Sale, meanwhile, are much healthier and will be fancying their chances against a depleted group. The away team still look dangerous but they are missing some serious star power.
