Premiership Rugby Round 8: Key Matches and Predictions

Premiership Rugby Round 8: Key Matches and Predictions


Premiership Rugby is back in action after a brief hiatus for the Investec Champions Cup and EPCR Challenge Cup, with Round 8 kicking off on Friday, December 20th. Here are the key matches and predictions for the upcoming weekend.

The action begins on Friday night at Kingsholm Stadium, where Gloucester Rugby hosts Harlequins. Gloucester, looking to stay within reach of the top four, aims to build on their recent form after beating reigning champions Northampton Saints in their last Premiership outing. Predictions suggest Gloucester will secure a win with a 10-15 point margin and a bonus point try[1].

On Saturday, Leicester Tigers face Bristol Bears at Mattioli Woods Welford Road in a highly anticipated match. Bristol, known for their expansive rugby, will see the return of AJ MacGinty, who will face off against Handre Pollard at fly-half. Leicester, seeking to redeem themselves after a defeat at Sale in Round 7, will have Ben Youngs and Cameron Henderson in their starting lineup. This match is expected to be high-scoring, with Leicester predicted to win 34-29[2][3].

Another significant match on Saturday is between Newcastle Falcons and Bath Rugby at Kingston Park. Bath, looking to bounce back from their Champions Cup defeat, will see the return of key players like Ben Spencer. Despite Newcastle's recent upset over Saracens, Bath is expected to have too much quality and secure a win[1][2].

On Sunday, Saracens welcome Northampton Saints to the StoneX Stadium in a crucial clash. Saracens' Nick Tompkins will make his 200th appearance for the club, while Northampton's Alex Mitchell will mark his 100th Premiership appearance. Northampton, without their club captain George Furbank, will be led by Alex Coles. Predictions are split, but Northampton is favored to win 26-22[1][2][4].

In other matches, Sale Sharks host Exeter Chiefs at the Salford Community Stadium, with Sale expected to secure a comprehensive home win against the winless Exeter side[1][2].
