Saracens vs Ealing Trailfinders
Kickoff: 3:30pm, Sunday 7th June
Venue: StoneX Stadium
Watch on: TNT Sports
Key to the game: Can Saracens' strong line-up keep up their momentum? Despite having secured 2nd place already, Saracens have selected a very strong line-up which includes both Corrigan and Apps. GB sevens fans will be happy to see that but I'm not sure that anything short of a miracle could save either GB team from getting relegated to SVNS 2. Back on the 15's pitch, Ealing have rotated a little bit more than their opponents and are clearly quite happy to rest before visiting Kingsholm in the first knockout round. Saracens should win this one.

Key to the game: Sale's season is over so focus has turned to some very exciting signings for the next campaign. Meanwhile, Exeter are looking to secure 3rd in the table; it's pretty much guaranteed anyway. Exeter's pack should be too strong for the Sharks at Sandy Park

Gloucester-Hartpury vs Bristol Bears
Kickoff: 3:30pm, Sunday 7th June
Venue: Kingsholm
Watch on: Youtube
Key to the game: Can Bristol take advantage of a less-than-full-strength Gloucester-Hartpury squad? The hosts have had a home semi-final wrapped up for weeks and so have been happy to rotate their squad. That resulted in a loss to Ealing which removed any possible drama from this round of fixtures. Bristol should have enough to get over the line in a very close game.

Leicester Tigers vs Loughborough Lightning
Kickoff: 3:30pm, Sunday 7th June
Venue: Mattioli Woods Welford Road
Watch on: TNT Sports
Key to the game: Can Leicester get a win? Loughborough may suffer from disappointment at missing the top 4 which could give a motivated Tigers team a chance to grab a first win of the season in their final game. Loughborough are saying goodbye to their Scottish stars but have announced the signings of 5 Canadian internationals to replace them; if World Rankings are anything to go by, that's quite the set of upgrades. For now, I think Loughborough will finish their season an a high.
