Loughborough Lightning player their final match of the 2023/24 Allianz Premiership Women's Rugby season when Saracens Women visit cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens.
The African Violets go into Sunday’s Round 16 encounter (kick-off: 3pm) off the back of two successive wins having defeated both Harlequins and Trailfinders in recent weeks. Opponents Saracens have qualified for the end-of-season play-offs and ended Gloucester-Hartpury’s season-long unbeaten run last time out.
It will be Lightning and Saracens’ third meeting of the season having played out a high-scoring Allianz Cup encounter that Saracens edged (33-25) September 2023, before meeting again in the opening round of the Allianz PWR season a month later when Lightning lost 48-7 in London.
Tickets for Sunday’s match are still available – with prices starting from £7.50 adult / £3 child*.
