Bath v Leicester Tigers preview
While Northampton Saints are guaranteed top spot in the table whatever happens against Harlequins today, Bath and Leicester still have plenty to play for. Although both are assured of a place in the Gallagher PREM play-offs, victory today will guarantee home advantage, which tends to have a big part to play in the end-of-season showdown. Besides, with the possibility of this fixture being repeated next weekend (either at the Rec or Welford Road), a win could be a crucial psychological advantage.
Reigning champions Bath have lost three of their last four league matches, their only victory coming against lowly Newcastle Red Bulls. Johann van Graan’s strong selection suggests he’s eager for another game at the Rec, though he’ll have to do it without talismanic fly-half Finn Russell. Argentinian star Santi Carreras fills in at 10.
Leicester have also found the run-in challenging, with defeats to Exeter Chiefs and Saracens in their last four matches. A comfortable win over Northampton a month ago proves they can beat anyone, however, and head coach Geoff Parling will back his side to deliver in the West Country.
