Here are four players that we think might have an impact.
BATH
SEMESA ROKODUGUNI The flying wing may have fallen out of England favour after injury curtailed his involvement in the autumn, but Rokoduguni remains one of the Aviva Premiership’s most deadly attackers. The numbers prove it, the Army wing leading Bath’s stats with a whopping 851 metres made and 48 defenders beaten, as well as seven tries to his name
FRANCOIS LOUW There are few more complete opensides in world rugby than Springbok Francois Louw and despite playing just five times in the Aviva Premiership this season, no one at the Rec has more than his nine turnovers. A frequent lineout option, Louw also steals the most opposition lineouts per game (1.8)
SAINTS
GEORGE PISI Man of the match in last weekend’s win over Irish, George Pisi typified the Saints’ resilience in defence. The Samoan always seems to time his run out of the line perfectly to make the big hits, while in attack few can match his mesmerising footwork and eye for an offload
SAM DICKINSON The fact that Sam Dickinson earned a Steffans Player of the Month nomination during his time in the second row fully illustrates how well he has been playing in the black, green and gold. Now back in his preferred No.8 shirt, expect the ball to be in his destructive hands far more often!
