How you can watch two of the biggest sides in England kick off their PREM seasons – for free.
Watch Leicester Tigers v Saracens as two of the biggest and most successful sides in Gallagher PREM history kick off their seasons at Welford Road.
Leicester don’t lose many at their East Midlands fortress, and they’ll be feeling confident after last year’s run to the play-off semi-finals. They lost to eventual champions Northampton Saints that day but head coach Geoff Parling is entering his second year in charge, and seems to be building something impressive. The arrivals of Aaron Wainwright, Mako Vunipola and Joel Sclavi will bolster an already impressive squad.
There’s rather more change for Sarries, where Mark McCall has stood down as director of rugby after 17 years at the helm. His predecessor, Brendan Venter, has picked up the reins, and it looks like the London side have every intention of hitting the ground running. They’ve made some impressive signings of their own, notably George Martin, Alfie Barbeary and Tomos Williams.
Both sides will be desperate to pick up a win in this Sunday afternoon fixture.
