Worcester Warriors v Bath Rugby
Location: Sixways Stadium, Pershore Lane, Hindlip, Worcester WR3 8ZE
Date: Saturday 19 April, Kick off: 3pm

Worcester have been trailing down at the wrong end of the Guinness Premiership table this season so will be going all out for a home win against one of the most impressive sides in the Guinness Premiership – Bath. Bath have been playing some fantastic rugby so this match is bound to be cracker, with only 2 more rounds of matches to go before the top 4 playoffs and relegation at the foot of the table. Look out for the charming Pat Sanderson of Worcester Warriors as well as Bath Rugby’s 6’6 lock Danny Grewcock, who as well as playing top level rugby is a dab hand in the kitchen. |

Saracens v London Wasps
Location: Vicarage Road Stadium, Vicarage Road, Watford WD18 OEP
Date: Sunday 20 April, Kick off: 3pm
Tickets: 01923 475222
Set to be an exciting London derby between these two rivals. Star names aplenty at these clubs including ex-All Black Chris Jack for Saracens and Danny Cipriani and Lawrence Dallaglio at London Wasps. Saracens always put on some of the best match day entertainment as well as the amused-looking Sarrie the Camel mascot that wanders around. |

Sale Sharks v Newcastle Falcons
Location: Kingston Park, Brunton Road, Kenton Bank Foot, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, NE13 8AF
Date: Sunday 20 April, Kick off: 3.30pm
Tickets: 08444 994994
A solid northern derby between Jonny Wilkinson’s Newcastle Falcons and Manchester’s Sale Sharks. Newcastle Falcons have the impressive Toby Flood, Mathew Tait and Jonny Wilkinson in their backline but Sale Sharks have some real characters such as 6’3” Frenchman Sebastien Chabal. During the Rugby World Cup he became a big hit with the ladies in France for his rugged caveman looks and sparked a debate on the caveman versus Jonny Wilkinson’s clean cut look. The match should be a close northern encounter. |
